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.
