A South African woman was executed in China for drug smuggling, eNews reported.
Janice Bronwyn Linden, 35, from KwaZulu-Natal, was arrested in November 2008 for smuggling three kilograms of crystal methamphetamine.
An eNews' correspondent in Asia confirmed today that Linden had been executed, after being allowed to say goodbye to her two sisters.
According to Chinese practice, Linden would not have been told of her execution until this morning, Chinese time.
The South African government has on several occasions called on the Chinese to halt the execution, but these calls have fallen on deaf ears.
