Tourist shot dead in S. Africa

A female Shanghai tourist was shot dead in South Africa yesterday morning, said the Chinese Consulate General in Durban.

The victim, surnamed Tang, who was with her husband and another couple from Shanghai in Natal Province, resisted when her bag containing four passports was grabbed by one of the robbers, who shot her six times, China News Service reported.

The couples were enroute to Durban when a grey vehicle overtook them several kilometres from Ladysmith and blocked them.

Four or five robbers jumped out of the vehicle and shot the driver three times, the report said.

Tang, sitting beside the driver, was shot right after when she resisted.

The robbers fled after about five minutes.

The woman was rushed to hospital and died in the afternoon, while the driver underwent surgery to have bullets removed from his chest and his condition is not life-threatening.
