Man killed by pirates not South African
A man who was allegedly killed by Somali pirates when he refused to disembark from a yacht in the Indian Ocean is not South African, the department of international relations and cooperation said in a statement on Sunday.
The captain of a chemical tanker captured by Somali pirates this week off the Seychelles with 28 North Koreans on board has died of his wounds after being shot, a pirate told AFP Wednesday.
