Kimberley - Community members are baying for the blood of the suspects who killed a 16-year-old Kimberley Boys’ High pupil, who was robbed of his clothes and sneakers and stabbed to death in the early hours of on Sunday morning. Members of the public were searching neighbourhoods in Vergenoeg on Sunday afternoon, threatening to necklace the perpetrators, whom they said were terrorising the community and targeting vulnerable members of society over weekends.
“I think Tshepiso was trying to fight them off when they were approached by a second group. His friends were also assaulted. They were on their way home when Tshepiso realised that he was stabbed in his side. “He collapsed in Phitlo Street. His friends tried to keep him awake until I arrived, while another one of his friends ran for help. I only received information that he had collapsed near a church and requested all the churches in the area for assistance.
“I decided to quickly run home to fetch my medical aid card so that I could transport him to Mediclinic Gariep but the paramedics said that they would first attend to him. He was still talking when I arrived but he died on the scene.” Gracia said that Tshepiso, her eldest son, was in Grade 8. “His passion was rugby and he wanted to play professionally after completing his schooling.”
