Daily Sun (October 30 2013)THESE were the last moments in the life of Bongani Nkabinde . . . In full view of other pupils at his school, the 18-year-old was beaten and speared to death in a fight with rival boys. THE SHOCKING VIDEO WAS FILMED ON MONDAY BY ANOTHER PUPIL - AND REACHED DAILY SUN YESTERDAY.
The source of the video wants to remain anonymous. The horrifying attack happened just after pupils said prayers at their morning assembly at Sizimele High School, Dannhauser, in KZN. Pupils screamed as a fight broke out between two traditional music groups from different clans.
Bongani's group, Abaphumeleli (The Conquerors) faced their rivals, the Bhananas from Mdikane, across the school yard.
Daily Sun has been told the Bhananas came to school prepared for war with sharpened sticks, metal rods and pangas.
Bongani tried to hide but he was set upon by the rival group and fell to the ground, trying to hide his head from the stabbing blows.
The fight was so furious even teachers ran for cover. According to pupils, Bongani lay on the ground in a pool of blood. He was certified dead when an ambulance took him to a local clinic.
