Johannesburg - The racially-fuelled murder of Anele Hoyana by an East London farmer has sparked national outrage after video footage of some of the shocking abuse went viral on social media. Fritz Joubert, 45, repeatedly beat Hoyana, 40, to death with the butt of his gun on his Geluksdal farm near Gonubie.
Police reacting to the incident later shot Joubert dead when he allegedly resisted being taken into custody. Themba Rumbu, who claimed to be a cousin of Hoyana, caused a Twitter storm when he shared videos of the farmer spewing racist rants while abusing Hoyana. However, Olwethu Hoyana, the brother of Anele, said he had no clue who Rumbu was and had no idea why he would refer to himself as Anele’s cousin.
“I do not know who Themba Rumbu is; my other brother also asked me who this person was. This is clearly an imposter, because when this was brought to my attention he was conducting interviews. That’s when I decided to go on social media and distance ourselves from him,” said Olwethu.
