Kar was born in Singapore but had British nationality and was one of five who died in violence during the strike which has been going on for a week.

Everyone knew who Kar Hao was in school. You could never miss him in a crowd. This tall lanky Chinese guy with a distinctive mark on his left cheek, always with a ready smile.

Kar Hao Teoh, 40, was on holiday with his wife Sara and two-year-old son Hugo when they took a wrong turn after driving into Cape Town's Nyanga township close to the city's international airport on Thursday last week. The vehicle was then approached by a group before a gun was fired.

The group of striking taxi drivers allegedly demanded that the doctor pay a toll but he refused. The taxi drivers became angry and then opened fire on him, Opera News reported. The British Foreign Office said it was "supporting the family of a British man who has died in South Africa" and issued a travel alert about the unrest.

Nyanga is one of the most dangerous places in South Africa where 74 people are murdered every day.

Another sad case. Even ermaos here know how dangerous it's out there. If given free tours to these places they' definitely say no
