Cape Town – A security guard dodged death on three occasions only to be gunned down in an ambush at a doctor’s surgery.

Elias Dyasi, 59, came face to face with death three times in the last two weeks.

But, on Monday afternoon, he was gunned down and robbed of his firearm.

The devoted dad was standing outside the doctor’s offices that he guards, washing some grapes he had just bought from a nearby vendor, when he came under fire.
