He said the suspects had approached a group of people, made up of six males and three females, who were socialising at the house.
The suspects allegedly then opened fire on the group, leaving four people dead and one injured.
"Three females and one male escaped the attack unharmed," Traut added.
Anyone with information was asked to contact Brigadier Makhaya Mkabile on 082 222 6744 or Lieutenant Colonel Bonginkosi Libaya on 082 411 2042.
The two officers were on standby to take calls, and callers could choose to remain anonymous, Traut said.
