WORLD WIDE AFRICA THE VOICE OF THE PAN AFRICAN MOVEMENT

Here is an article taken from a News paper coming out of South Africa Yesterday. "Shackled, four men who allegedly stabbed Emmanuel Sithole to death at the weekend smiled at their loved ones, even sharing a joke, as they were led to the holding cells of Johannesburg's Alexandra Magistrate's Court.

"They were laughing just like that as they walked away from killing my brother," wept Sithole's sister Thando Sithole.

"They hunted him down like a dog. They killed him like a dog in the street. And now they laugh.''

Speaking after Mthinto Bhengu, Sizwe Mngomezulu, Ayanda Sibiya and Sifundi Mzimela appeared in court, Thando Sithole was unable to contain her rage.

"We want justice. We want them to get life. They must get life for taking a life. They must never taste freedom again."

Sithole's younger sister, Jordina Masia, who was with Emmanuel when he was attacked, said she had pleaded with the men not to hurt him. "I begged. I cried. I asked them not to. They killed him because when they took his cigarettes without paying, Emmanuel confronted them, demanding payment. Just like that they killed him."

A series of photographs in the Sunday Times chronicling the Mozambican trader's murder in Alexandra on Saturday continues to enrage South Africans.
