China News Service, August 9. According to the website of the Chinese Embassy in South Africa, recently, shooting incidents have occurred in many places in South Africa.

Unidentified gunmen targeted taverns, small shops and other places with dense population but weak security, and chose to carry out indiscriminate attacks during peak traffic hours such as weekends, causing serious casualties and property damage.

The Chinese Embassy in South Africa would like to remind the overseas Chinese:

　　1. Keep away from dangerous places and dangerous areas.

Pay close attention to the local security situation, carefully plan the scope of activities, and try to stay away from urban and rural areas that are remote, mixed, and weak in public security.

Strengthen the reminder and restraint for minor children, and urge them to avoid entering and leaving bars, pubs, nightclubs and other crowded entertainment places as much as possible.

　　2. Strengthen security protection and make emergency response.

Overseas Chinese who do business and buy property in risk areas should shorten their business hours as much as possible, and choose to close their doors when necessary to avoid risks.

If it is really necessary to continue operating or frequently enter and exit risk areas, it is recommended to strengthen security forces, and at the same time strengthen their own security by purchasing technical defense facilities and services such as "smart monitoring" and "one-button alarm", and wearing bulletproof equipment.

　　3. Improve insurance awareness and reduce personal losses.

It is recommended to purchase corresponding insurance as soon as possible and in full to minimize possible losses.

At the same time, mark the star on the mobile phone to store emergency calls such as alarm, first aid, and insurance companies.
