Daily Sun (August 14 2014) - TWO GUN shots rang out and Japie lay dead on the ground.
He had taken a two-litre bottle of cooking oil from a tuckshop and he paid for his crime with his life.
NOBODY DENIES HE STOLE THE OIL, BUT LOCALS BELIEVE JAPIE SHOULD NOT HAVE DIED FOR HIS CRIME.
The owners of the shop have already been beaten up, their shops have been stripped, looted and wrecked and the shopkeepers are at the Evaton Police Station.
They are looking for protection. Josiah Ngwenya (28) - known as Japie - from Evaton in the Vaal, south of Joburg was allegedly shot in the head by the man who owns the tuckshop on Sterling Road yesterday afternoon.
Japie's friend, Bongani Mbhele (27), said Japie had been selling loose cigarettes to passing motorists in front of the shop for 15 years.
