Three weeks later, his family is still struggling to come to terms with the events of that Sunday.
“The minute that incident happened, Covid-19 became almost non-important and less of a fear, because we are now fearing our law enforcement.”
“We are taking it an hour at a time and building up the 24 hours. Sometimes you sit and realise that, ‘I’m not going to make it through the day without a memory or a flashback’,” the sister told News24 during a telephonic interview. Ndlovu faces charges of the unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, as well as four attempted murder charges, after four children were injured in the incident.Recalling the events of the day her brother died, Ntombikayise said she still believed that the officers had enough time to decide not shoot at him, but did so anyway.
“My aunt then pushed him toward the veranda area and, as I was standing in the area, I pulled him back into the veranda area and closed the slam burglar [gate]. Once it slam locked, he tried to open it. My cousin was literally smoking by the gate. Ntombikayise said the officer was wearing what “looked like a uniform, although it didn’t look the same as an EMPD uniform”.
