"The motive of the incident is yet to be determined, and no arrest has been effected.
"The police would like to urge members of the community who are using various social media platforms to share pictures and video clips purported to be those of the suspects, to refrain from doing that as this has the potential to jeopardise the investigation," he said.
The police request anyone who may have information that can assist in the investigation to contact investigating officer Detective Sergeant Keorapetse Ramokgadi on 078 353 4321, or to call CrimeStop on 08600 10111.
