One more person has died from mass shootings at two houses on the same street in a South African village over the weekend, bringing the death toll to 18, officials said Monday.

Police are still searching for the assailants who opened fire Saturday on people who had reportedly gathered for a family event in Lusikisiki village in Eastern Cape province.

The shootings, which took place in two separate houses on the same street, fueled outrage over a recent spate of mass shootings in the country.

The motive for the killings remains unknown and police said on Monday that the investigation is continuing, and no arrests have been made.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa condemned the killings and promised that the government would deploy all needed resources in the investigation.

He said Monday that 38 people had been killed in previous mass shootings in the past two years and 25 suspects have been arrested.

"I feel deeply for all the families and members of the broader community affected by this attack, and on behalf of all of us as South Africans, I offer you our deepest sympathies," he said.

"While we are united in our grief, we are also united in our outrage and condemnation of this excessive criminal assault which will not go unpunished," he said.

The shootings follow a mass killing in KwaZulu-Natal province in April 2023. Ten members of the same family, including seven women and a 13-year-old boy, were killed at their home.

Sixteen people were fatally shot in a bar in the Johannesburg township of Soweto in 2022, the worst mass shooting in South Africa in decades before the latest killings in Lusikisiki.

South Africa has one of the highest homicide rates in the world. It recorded 12,734 homicides in the first six months of this year, according to police.

King Charles III is opening up about his late mother’s final days.

On Sunday, the British monarch gave a speech addressing the Scottish Parliament on its 25th anniversary when he reflected on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

England’s longest-reigning monarch died on Sept. 8, 2022 at Scotland’s Balmoral Castle. She was 96.

Charles shared that the queen "chose" Balmoral "to spend her final days" because of her love for the estate and the country, the BBC reported.

"My late mother especially treasured the time spent at Balmoral, and it was there, in the most beloved of places, where she chose to spend her final days," said the 75-year-old, who was joined by his wife, Queen Camilla.

Charles noted that Scotland "always had a uniquely special place in the hearts of my family and myself."

The queen spent much of her childhood at Balmoral. It remained a beloved retreat for the rest of her life. She traveled there at least once a year, usually at the end of the summer. 

According to the outlet, she spent much of her husband Prince Philip’s last years with him at the estate during the COVID-19 lockdown. In Nov. 2020, the couple celebrated their 73rd anniversary there.

Philip died in April 2021 at age 99 in Windsor Castle.

In a BBC documentary that aired last year, Princess Anne, the couple’s only daughter, said her mother was concerned about dying in Balmoral and the issues it could have created.

"We did try and persuade her that that shouldn't be part of the decision-making process," said the Princess Royal. "I hope she felt that that was right in the end, because I think we did."

According to the outlet, Balmoral has been one of the royal family’s residences since 1852. The estate and the original castle were purchased by Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s husband. The outlet revealed that the current Balmoral Castle was commissioned after the house at the time was considered too small.

His eldest son, Prince William, and his wife, Kate Middleton, were also present. It marked the Princess of Wales’ first appearance since announcing she had completed chemotherapy.

Previously, the king’s younger son Prince Harry wrote about visiting Balmoral in his 2023 memoir "Spare."

"To me, Balmoral was always simply paradise," he wrote. "My family lived to be outdoors, especially Granny, who got cross if she didn't breathe at least an hour of fresh air each day."
