Durban - Alonzo Pearson was expected to embark on a cruise with his family to celebrate his 21st birthday next week.
Pearson, who turned 21 on Monday, and two cousins were on their way home from a tuckshop when they came under attack. Mavis said her son was being targeted because he had witnessed his friend Cody Jones being killed in May 2018. She said the shooters were trying to shut her son up before the trial of Jones’s killers starts next week.
“We’ve spoken to the police and Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant-General Khombinkosi Jula for a special task team, but we’ve been hearing promises for months now. If this does not happen, we will mobilise our people. It’s not their kids, it’s our kids in Wentworth who are dying. Now we will come with bodies in bags to their offices.”
