South African footballer Luke Fleurs has been shot dead in a car hijacking, police say.

The shooting took place at a petrol station on Wednesday night in the Johannesburg suburb of Florida.

The 24-year-old Kaizer Chiefs star was waiting to be attended to when he was approached by unknown gunmen, who ordered him to get out of the vehicle.

One of the suspects is reported to have fled the scene with Fleurs' car after the shooting.

"The suspects pointed [at] him with a firearm and took him out of his vehicle, then shot him once on the upper body," Gauteng police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Mavela Masondo told local media.

Kaizer Chiefs, one of the most popular clubs in the country and 12-time league champions, described his death as "tragic".

The club said police were handling the matter and further details would be communicated in due course.

not true in all cases. My husband and I relocated in our 40s and we like it here.

Each person's situation is different. There's no general rule for whether or not to immigrate. Everyone should do what works for them.

Just don't travel illegally. If you have PR visa or study visa, take the opportunity.

It is indeed regrettable that these great men and women (pensioners), who toiled for the State at the peak of their productive years were owed for so long.
At any rate, as I mentioned in my address to Abians shortly after my inauguration, never again shall our senior citizens be subjected to the agony of unpaid entitlements.
I have since directed that full pensions must be paid on or before the 28th of every month, the very same day civil servants in the State get their salaries.

.........the seller grated about five pieces of polythene and added it into the hot oil used in frying the plantain chips.

Same kind of people we read, that produce fake teething powder for new born babies under 6 months old, sending many innocent newborns to their untimely death!

They turn worn out and old tires to brand new ones in their shops under 3 hours and sell it back to unsuspecting public as tokunbo tires!!!
Causing many deaths on our roads by so doing!!
