South Africa's National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) on Tuesday confirmed the country's third A/H1N1 influenza death case, Xinhua reported.
"There has been three swine flu deaths in the country. I am not going to name patients but the third case was the man from Western Cape who died last week," said NICD's Lucille Blumberg.
The country's first A/H1N1 victim reported was 22-year-old Stellenbosch University student Ruan Muller which was reported early last week.
The second A/H1N1 flu death was of a 15-year-old teenager from Bloemfontein which was only confirmed on Saturday. More than 1,000 infections have been confirmed in the country.
