Four German tourists were driving on Numbi Road in White River, en route to Numbi Gate near Mdluli Safari Lodge, when they were attacked by armed men and the driver was shot dead. KLCBT CEO Linda Grimbeek said they were saddened by the incident."We hope that the R50 000 reward will get [the criminals] out of their hiding hole."
Embassy spokesperson Christopher Schmidt said:"The embassy is aware of the tragic incident, and we are in close contact with South African authorities. Our consular team is taking care of the tourists that were affected." Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu said in a statement that she would engage with ministers in the security cluster to ensure the safety of tourists.
