4 September 2019
Khayelitsha residents have torched the house said to belong to a man who is suspected of killing 19-year-old UCT student, Uyinene Mrwetyana.
Ward 94 councillor Patrick Mngxunyeni told GroundUp that residents had organised a meeting on Tuesday after learning that the suspect was from the area. “The community wanted to know what will happen to the man should he get bail”, said Mngxunyeni.
City’s Fire and Rescue Services spokesman Jermaine Carelse said the 14 firefighters who went to the scene on Tuesday night had been confronted with a volatile crowd.
