Translated as my brother was burnt to death in his house. The fire is believed to have started from the land lord’s son house. He puts his contact details.

The shocking deaths comes after president Ramaphosa rallied his killing machines to deal with foreigners. The Xenophobic attacks on all foreigners has increased and political parties are using the foreigners as their campaign collateral damage. ANC is determined to win at all costs. They will paint their victory with the blood of the foreigners.

The shocking thing is that inly black foreigners are targeted. This is a black on black violence supported by Ramaphosa and his cabinet. The silence of Africa is disturbing. An unabated genocide is taking place in South Africa and countries are having tea.

The leader of the opposition party comrade Julius Malema has come out denouncing this black on black violence. Malema leads the EEF which is an upcoming and strong force to recon in South Africa. Malema described these killings as barbaric inhuman and indeed un African.

The UN and the world at large will not raise an alarm remember Rwanda. It will take a million foreigners in South Africa to be Killed for the UN or EU to act. African Union is a toothless dog and will surely give a blind eye. Malema added

Meanwhile the family is struggling to bring the deceased back to Zimbabwe for decent burial. They are appealing for help. The deaths are overwhelming and obviously never planned for. For any help to repatriate the deceased please contact Rosemary Mazungunye on 0027611097894 or the brother on 002730478196.

Mourners are gathered in Harare. House no 8026 28th Road Glen View Area 8 Harare
