Death toll from South Africa's unrest rises to 337
Johannesburg [South Africa], July 23 (ANI/Xinhua): The death toll following a week of rolling violence and looting in South Africa has risen to 337, said Acting Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni during her daily briefing on the issue on Thursday.
Ntshavheni said the number of deaths in Gauteng is 79 and in KwaZulu-Natal 258. The revision of deaths happened when those who were injured succumbed to their injuries.
Ntshavheni said the government considered the situation as stable since there had been no new incidents of looting or vandalism in either province in recent days.
