Police Minister Bheki Cele is visiting the family of Mthokozisi Ntumba, the 35-year-old man who was shot and killed by police during a protest by students from Wits University in Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
Cele spokesperson Lirandzu Themba confirmed that the minister would visit the family on Thursday morning.
The visit to the family’s home in Kempton Park, East Rand, comes just as the investigation team of the Independent Police Investigations Directorate (Ipid) “works 24 hours a day, processing the voluminous evidence gathered today (Wednesday) at the crime scene during the preliminary investigation phase that he carried out. “
Ntumba was coming from a clinic where he had just been treated and was shot several times when he asked, “Why are you shooting me?” A witness told Sowetan on Wednesday.
Ipid spokeswoman Ndileka Cola said: “It is alleged that the young man, who is a civilian, was not part of the protest and had just left the doctor’s rooms when police officers allegedly shot him.
