Daily Sun (November 6 2014) - SENZO'S dad just wanted to thank mourners. But his wave to the crowds took on a life of its own on the internet . . .
NOW THE GRIEVING FATHER IS BEGGING PEOPLE TO STOP MOCKING HIM!
Samuel Meyiwa told Daily Sun that he's hurt and disappointed that his gesture of gratitude has been turned into a joke. Not long after Saturday's funeral at Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban, KZN, Facebook and Twitter users started taking selfies copying Sam's wave.
Speaking through family spokeswoman Jabu Buthelezi, Sam said he was shocked by the pictures.
"We urge people to respect the fact that this is still a mourning period for the family," Jabu said.
"What's happening is disrespectful."
