New police details say three gunmen killed 11 people after storming a house where 14 people were attending a party in KwaMakhutha township near Durban. Ten died at the scene and one later died in hospital; the motive remains unconfirmed, though police are investigating a possible feud between rival groups.

Police said the gathering involved 13 men and one woman, who was believed to be pregnant and was among those killed. Some victims were allegedly known to police in connection with illegal activities, while a vehicle was reportedly set alight before the attackers fled; a manhunt is under way amid South Africa’s severe levels of organised and violent crime.
