南非一华人超市遭持枪抢劫：一名警员追击歹徒时牺牲，中国驻德班总领馆发布年末安全提醒
中国驻德班总领馆11月14日发布公告，提醒在南非的中国公民、企业和机构加强年末安全防范。公告说，近日，南非夸祖卢—纳塔尔省格雷敦（Greytown）地区发生持枪抢劫案，一家华人超市被抢，侨胞遭受人身伤害和财产损失，一名警方人员在追击歹徒时牺牲。
总领馆表示，时近年末和南非圣诞、新年假期，生产经营进入高峰期，诈骗、偷盗、抢劫、交通意外等治安案件和安全事故风险上升，请广大侨胞和企业牢固树立自身「海外安全第一责任人」意识，密切关注当地安全形势，提高风险意识，采取有效防范和监控措施，确保人身和财产安全；注意合理调整营业时间，规避案件高发时段，确保各项安防设施设备正常运行。
公告还建议，经营地点安全风险较高的，应尽快迁往安全区域；日常保持言行低调，尽量使用非现金交易和支付手段，不在经营场所、住所存放或随身携带大额现金；避免雇佣非法务工人员，妥善处理劳资关系和纠纷，严防内外勾结犯罪。如遇犯罪侵害，切记以人身安全为首要，避免与不法分子发生直接冲突，待危险解除后及时向警方和就近的中国驻南非使领馆报案。

Chinese Supermarket in South Africa Hit by Armed Robbery: Officer Killed Chasing Suspects as China's Durban Consulate Issues Year-End Safety Alert
The Consulate-General of China in Durban issued a notice on November 14 urging Chinese citizens, businesses and institutions in South Africa to step up safety precautions ahead of the year-end season. According to the notice, an armed robbery recently took place in the Greytown area of KwaZulu-Natal province, where a Chinese-owned supermarket was robbed; members of the Chinese community suffered personal injury and property losses, and a police officer was killed while pursuing the suspects.
The consulate said that with the year-end and South Africa's Christmas and New Year holidays approaching, business activity is entering its peak season and the risks of fraud, theft, robbery, traffic accidents and other safety incidents are rising. It urged Chinese nationals and businesses to treat themselves as the first line of responsibility for their own safety overseas, to follow the local security situation closely, to take effective preventive and monitoring measures, to adjust business hours reasonably to avoid high-incidence periods, and to keep all security facilities in working order.
The notice also advised businesses in higher-risk locations to relocate to safer areas as soon as possible, to keep a low profile, to use non-cash payment methods where possible, to avoid keeping large amounts of cash at business premises, homes or on their persons, to avoid hiring undocumented workers, to handle labour relations and disputes properly to guard against inside-outside collusion in crime, and, if victimised, to put personal safety first, avoid direct confrontation with criminals, and report to the police and the nearest Chinese embassy or consulate once the danger has passed.
