Daily Sun (March 4 2013) - DO YOU want to die for Mido? That's what the voice on the phone said to Lindiwe Ngwenya, sister-in-law of Mido Macia. BUT NOT EVEN DEATH THREATS WILL MAKE MIDO'S FAMILY BACK DOWN! The voice continued: "You like things and you will get what's coming to you. You are doing this for a foreigner but you won't do it for a South African." The woman who identified herself only as Nhlanhla then ended the phone call which was from a private number.

But the family told the People's Paper that they are united in their call that the cops who dragged Mido be put behind bars for a long time! Lindiwe, a South African who is married to Mido's brother, a Mozambican, said they are scared when they get these calls but she does not regret speaking out. She said they are also haunted by police vans driving slowly past their house with cops looking at them and waving and looking angry. "But we will not be intimidated into silence," she said.
