Daily Sun (January 12 2015) - MELUSI WAS at a night vigil to honour a friend who had died . . . but it cost him his life.
A gang fight broke out among the many mourners in the house and Melusi was attacked.
ALTHOUGH HE WAS HACKED AND STABBED ABOUT 15 TIMES, HE DIDN'T DIE IMMEDIATELY.
In a desperate attempt to escape the attack, Melusi Maxhanti (23) ran down the street but he was too badly wounded to survive. He died at the door of the outside toilet at a neighbour's house.
It appears the gang was targeting young people at the vigil. Melusi's brother, Sabelo Mhuma (25) was seriously injured when he too was hacked on the head, shoulders and arms with pangas and knives.
Melusi's older brother, Mpho Mhuma (35), who apparently saw Melusi dying, was not available to speak toDaily Sun as he and Sabelo are in hiding.
