There was near pandemonium on Saturday when Rashied Staggie’s body arrived in Manenberg, stronghold of the Hard Livings gang he led for many years.
Community members were out in numbers at The Greens sports ground to say farewell to the murdered gangster, whose funeral was held earlier at a church in Observatory.
Manenberg residents await the arrival of a hearse carrying Rashied Staggie's coffin at The Greens on December 21 2019."Salute! Salute! Salute!" shouted dozens of community members crowding around the gold and white coffin. Residents swarmed around the hearse — a white stretched Range Rover with a turntable for the coffin, shipped in from Durban for the occasion — for a glimpse of Staggie’s white and gold coffin.
