A 33-year-old DJ was shot dead by a patron for switching off the music at a tavern in Mpumalanga on Christmas eve. The patron then turned the gun on himself.
Police in Masoyi, near White River, were conducting a festive season operation at about 11.30pm on Wednesday when they came across a group of people exiting a tavern in Mganduzweni Trust.
When police stopped to investigate the mass exit, they discovered that a shooting had taken place inside the tavern, said police spokesperson Brig Donald Mdhluli.
