Vietnamese Tourists Attacked In South Africa

Tony.Ekata,South.Africa                                                        

Vietnamese tourists have been attacked in South Africa by robbers. The men of the underworld followed the tourists from the Oliver Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.

The South African police told Von Correspondent Southern Africa Correspondent that the three men were attacked when they got to a house in Brooklyn in the capital city Pretoria, from the airport.

Victims Account

Police captain Collette Weilbach said the men reported that they were dispossessed of their luggage and cell phones at gun point.

However, national police spokesperson Senior Superintendent Vish Naidoo maintains that the robbery could be a coincidence, following his dismissal recently, of allegations that there was a criminal syndicate at the airport targeting tourists.

Tales of Woes

Last week, a Nigerian was robbed of his luggage on arrival at Johannesburg’s Westcliff Hotel from the airport and the US embassy has claimed that fourteen Americans have been robbed at gunpoint either at their destinations or on the way there from the airport in the past year.

In July last year, South Africa's High Commissioner to the United States Dumisani Khumalo was reportedly robbed at his son's house in Johannesburg on his arrival from the airport.
