A foreign national was shot dead and two others were wounded in a shooting incident on Saturday in Khayelitsha near Cape Town, Western Cape police said.
However, Captain Frederick van Wyk said the incident was not a xenophobic attack.
He said the three foreigners, who are all shop owners, were on their way from Khayelitsha to buy stock at Philippi Cash and Carry when they were hijacked at a traffic light.
The three suspects drove the bakkie to Sweethome Farms and robbed them of an undisclosed amount of money before shooting them.
One of them was killed instantly while the two others who were wounded were taken to hospital.
Van Wyk said police were investigating a case of murder, attempted murder and hijacking.
"This is regarded as a crime incident and cannot be attributed to violence at a certain foreign national," he said. - Sapa
