South African editor shot dead

Pretoria, 14 Aug-(ANA)-The editor of South Africa's Bona magazine, Force Khashane, has been murdered outside his Soweto home by two robbers.

The 60-year-old journalist died in hospital from six gunshot wounds. His family believe he was killed because he recognised the men.

Khashane previously worked for the Rand Daily Mail, the Sunday Times and Pace magazine. He was also one of the founding members and chairman of Soweto TV. He had been in the last stages of writing his autobiography. (ANA)
