The victims were aged from 14 to 64 years old, according to local newspaper Dispatch Live.

The three suspects will appear in court on Monday to hear their charges.


This massacre has shocked South Africa, adding to calls for more police protection.


South Africa has one of the highest murder rates in the world, according to the latest figures from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
