Visitor (44) kicked to death at Midoroni

A 44-year-old visitor was allegedly stabbed and killed at Midoroni on Saturday evening.

The spokesperson for the Tshilwavhusiku police, Const Musiwalo Mahuwa, said that Mr Alfred Mathivha died at the scene of the incident. It happened about 22:30.

"According to our preliminary investigation, Mr Mathivha was allegedly kicked until he lost consciousness," said Mahuwa. The suspect then ran away, but the police managed to arrest him later.

According to the sister of deceased, Ms Monica Mathivha, her brother was a good man who would not hurt a fly. “What makes it more painful is that no one is prepared to shed light on what actually happened”, she added. She added that the family had still expected a lot from her brother. "I want to see justice done,” she added.

An 18-year-old man, Ambani Ramahala (18), appeared briefly in the Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate´s Court on Monday in connection with the case. It was postponed to 2 December for further investigations.

Mr Mathivha will be buried at Ha-Matsa tomorrow. The service will start at 06:00.
