Nicole Muller an ex-Brackenfell High School pupil was shot in the head while on the dance floor shortly after midnight on Saturday morning. A 40-year-old man — who was the one chased into the crowded nightclub by the two shooters — was also killed.

“My sister lived in Kuils River, was married and had two sons aged 4 and 5. The family is distraught,” she said.
Nicole had been out with friends when she was killed. The Cubana nightclub posted a message of sympathy on its Facebook page on Saturday.
