Gito Baloi, a bass guitarist originally from Mozambique, lived and performed in South Africa for many years.
Gito Baloi, 39, was driving home from a gig in Pretoria when he was attacked. Eyewitnesses say he was shot three times through the window of his car by two men as he dropped off a friend in central Johannesburg.
This is the second killing of a high profile musician in Johannesburg this year - in February the lead singer of the band Mafikizolo, popular with young black people, was shot in Soweto in a road-rage incident.
His murder comes one week before a general election, in which South Africa's high crime rate is an important issue.
