Cape Town community leader stabbed to death in robbery
18 July 2017
Cape Town – A community leader belonging to a people’s rights organisation, which became known for flinging faeces to demand better toilets in parts of Cape Town, has been killed during a robbery.
Thulani Zondani, a father of three and a leader of the Ses'khona People's Rights Movement, was stabbed to death in Nkanini, Khayelitsha, around 02:00 on Sunday.
The movement made headline news in June 2013, when its members poured faeces onto the floor inside Cape Town International Airport, in protest against the toilets the City was providing in some informal settlements.
Zondani was well known in the Khayelitsha area. Aside from his involvement in Ses’khona, he was the Khayelitsha Water and Sanitation Forum’s deputy chairperson.
