A Somali businessman has been shot and killed in the South African city of Durban. The trader, who has been identified as Farah Weyd, was shot and killed on Wednesday night.
He becomes the fifth Somali to be shot and killed in South Africa in the last 18 days.
Moreover, Weyd also becomes the tenth Somali to lose his life in senseless killings carried out in South Africa since early June 2020.
South Africa has a horrible history of xenophobic killings, which it has perpetuated against foreigners from other African countries.
Reports indicate that unidentified gunmen stormed the shop where he operated his business and shot him before fleeing from the scene of their crime.
