南非多年来一直深受暴力犯罪困扰，但周六晚发生的枪击事件震惊了这个长期位居全球凶杀率最高国家之列的社会。
South Africa has struggled with violent crime for years, but the shootings on Saturday night have shocked a country used to some of the highest homicide rates in the world.
警方称，这名死者来自第一起袭击事件，该事件发生在约翰内斯堡附近的韦德拉（Wedela）镇区，周六晚造成17人死亡，另有数人受伤。枪手手持AK-47步枪，闯入一家酒馆，先向酒吧外的顾客开枪，随后进入店内继续射击。
The victim who died was from the first attack, in the Wedela township near Johannesburg, where 17 people died on Saturday night and several others were wounded, police said. Armed with AK-47 rifles, gunmen stormed a tavern and opened fire first at patrons outside the bar before moving inside and continuing to shoot.
枪手搜查了部分顾客并抢走他们的手机，随后乘坐两辆车逃离现场。枪击期间，酒吧外有两辆汽车被点燃。
The gunmen searched some of the patrons and took their mobile phones before escaping in two vehicles. Two cars were set on fire outside the bar during the shooting.
警方周一发布的声明称：“又一名伤者在医院死亡，死亡总人数升至18人。”
“One more victim has died in hospital, bringing the total number of deceased to 18,” the police statement on Monday said.
周六晚约四小时后，在南非第二大城市开普敦附近的卢旺德莱（Lwandle）镇区，一家与警方所称的娱乐场所相关的商店发生枪击事件，造成10人死亡，11人受伤。警方表示正在搜寻多名嫌疑人，但未透露具体人数。
About four hours later on Saturday night, 10 people were killed and 11 wounded in a shooting at a store linked to what police described as an entertainment venue in Lwandle township, near Cape Town, South Africa’s second biggest city. Police said they were searching for multiple suspects, though they didn’t give an exact number.
在韦德拉的死者中，有两名南非公民和两名莱索托公民。这四人是目前唯一确认身份的遇难者。
Of the dead in Wedela, two were South Africans and two were Lesotho nationals. The four are the only fatalities whose identities have been confirmed so far.
警方称：“医院中所有受伤者均已确认身份”，并补充说其中五人“上身中枪，伤势危重，其余人情况稳定”。一支由侦探和南非国防军成员组成的团队正在对此案进行调查。目前尚未逮捕任何人。
“All the injured victims in hospital have been identified,” the police said, adding that five were “shot in the upper body and are critically wounded, while the others are in a stable condition.” A team of detectives and members of the South African Defence Force are investigating. No arrests have been made so far.
