BLOOD continues to pour in KZN.
This as another mass shooting has occurred in one of KZN's famous kasis.
Six people from Q Section in Umlazi, south of Durban, were gunned down and one was injured in separate incidents by gunmen on Friday, 11 August.

It is alleged that on Friday four suspects stormed into a house just before midnight and shot two people who were inside. A third person was shot inside a backroom while the fourth person was shot next to the outside toilet. He was also found with burn wounds.
The same suspects allegedly proceeded to shacks which are just a few metres away from the first scene, and shot three people inside a shack.
This mass shooting killed six people and left one critically injured.
Following this tragedy, cops in KZN have launched a manhunt for at least four armed men who are suspected to be behind the criminal acts.
KZN cops spokesman Colonel Robert Netshiunda said preliminary investigations have revealed that one of the suspects, who was leading the other three, demanded his identity document from the victims before shooting them.
"It is believed that he was implicated and is wanted by police for another murder in which he allegedly dropped his identity document accidentally. Reports indicate that he believed that one of the deceased were in possession of his identity document," he said.
He said three of the suspects have been identified and a 72-hour mobilization of maximum resources has been activated in search of the suspects.
"Police appeal to anyone who might have information regarding the whereabouts of the suspects to contact the nearest police station or call our Crime Stop number 08600 10111 or alert the police via the MySAPS app," he said.
A concerned resident said she is planning to move to Joburg because it seems as though KZN is getting worse instead of better.
"I fear that my children will live with trauma throughout their lives because of the deaths we keep seeing. I'm planning to move and find another peaceful place for me and my children to live in," she said.
