JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Fifteen people were killed in a series of apparently unrelated attacks in Natal province, police said Friday.
Gunmen killed four people overnight at a home near Estcourt, about 240 miles southeast of Johannesburg, said police Capt. Henry Budhram.
Budhram said two later attacks in the Estcourt area left seven people dead but that there was no evidence the same attackers had carried out the killings.
Police also reported that four people died when gunmen fired on a disabled vehicle in Kwamakhutha township south of Durban.
