A 39-year-old male, who is also a foreign national and believed to be a businessman, was allegedly shot and killed by two unknown male suspects inside a shop at one of the supermarkets in a shopping complex under the Bolobedu policing area in Limpopo on Monday.
It is alleged that the man was with his companions at the time of the incident.
