The DA is horrified to learn of the brutal murder of Elvis Nyathi, a man who was hunted down in his community in what seems to be a xenophobic attack.
We send our deepest condolences to his family and friends. We do so with a heavy heart because this should have never happened.
This reprehensible and senseless attack could be a sign of things to come should strong action not be taken by government to crack down on these criminal elements and fix our broken immigration system which has been a powder keg for this kind of vigilantism and criminality.
