World Cup Official Shot Dead
-
A South African whistleblower who alerted officials to alleged corruption in the building of a World Cup stadium has been shot dead by an unknown gunman.
South Africa's ability to remain hosts of the 2010 World Cup suffered a further setback this week as it has been revealed that the Jimmy Mohlala - a committee member for the tournament - was murdered in his home in the northeastern city of Nelspruit.
A local government spokesperson is quoted to have said: "He was shot dead at his home in Nelspruit yesterday evening."
The Mbombela Local Council Municipality also issued a statement.
"He was shot by two unknown men who were wearing balaclavas...the gunmen had been lying in wait outside the Mohlala home in an unmarked vehicle," it said.
A further killing took place on Sunday, in the same place, when the unknown assassins also shot, and wounded, Mohlala's son, before they fled the scene.

No problem la. In china olympics, lots of protests took place at tibet and in some countries over the freedom of tibet. Then, it was followed by a major sichuan disaster.
In the end, people still feel china did a great job in the olympics. Then again, bad news surfaced such as the girl who sing is not the one who sing. Then within a month or two, news of tainted milk came out. haha.
