MBOMBELA - The Pienaar tavern where 8 people were shot dead has been temporarily shut down.
This is after it was discovered that it had been operating after hours.
Patrons started shooting at each other at the premises last week Saturday and left 8 dead, wounding several.
Acting Mpumalanga Police Commissioner Zeph Mkhwanazi says one suspect entered the establishment and opened fire on patrons.
He then fetched a second suspect and they continued shooting.
Two suspects have been arrested
