China News Service, Johannesburg, October 3 (Reporter Wang Xi) On the evening of October 3, local time in South Africa, there were 1883 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and 29 deaths in South Africa.
So far, the total number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in South Africa has reached 6,797,716, and the number of deaths has reached 16,938.
Although the total number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in South Africa is still huge, the current number of cured cases has reached 612,763, making the current cure rate remain stable at 90%.
With the improvement of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in South Africa, South Africa's "blockade order" against the epidemic has been relaxed in advance, but this has also led to a further increase in various serious violent criminal activities.
Especially since last December, there have been more than ten kidnapping cases against Chinese citizens in South Africa, posing a serious threat to the personal and property safety of overseas Chinese living in South Africa.
To this end, the Chinese Embassy in South Africa issued a security announcement stating that, based on the analysis of the characteristics of the cases that have occurred, these kidnappers have clear goals and skillful methods, showing obvious characteristics of gang and organized crime.
In response to the above situation, the Chinese Embassy in South Africa has repeatedly lodged solemn representations with the southern police, urging the other party to increase investigations, solve the case in time, and spare no effort to protect the safety of overseas Chinese in South Africa.
In addition, the announcement also pointed out that in view of the fact that the above-mentioned security situation is difficult to contain in the short term, in order to maintain their own safety, the key to maintaining their own safety is to increase vigilance and strengthen precautions.
In the unfortunate event of a kidnapping, protection of personal safety should be the primary goal.
