The family of 18- year-old Misomihle Nkwalase is still coming to terms with his tragic death, which has sparked public outrage in Veeplaas township, in Gqeberha.
It is alleged that he was brutally assaulted and kidnapped by a local businessman who accused him of robbing him earlier this month. It is further alleged that he dumped him in nearby bushes, came back for him in the morning and took him to hospital.
Nkwalase succumbed to his injuries this past Wednesday.
His mother, Nofezile Nkwalase says they had high hopes for his future.
“We were still expecting a lot from Miso. He used to tell me that he will work and take me to Sandton. He also had hopes of buying a cellphone for his sister as she always has faulty phones, regardless of how expensive a phone is.”
