The community of Soweto gathered in Ext 11, Protea Glen on Thursday, 23 June to pay tribute to two young male friends who lost their lives on 19 June due to an alleged reckless driver who drove over them in his white BMW. It is alleged the driver is a police officer at the Johannesburg Metro Police Department.
Both Sakhile Mazibuko and Khayalethu Nkolongwane were walking barefoot in Ext 11, near Casban, at around 8 pm when the incident occurred. They succumbed to their injuries on scene.
Sakhile's father said: “I was called to the scene at around 8:40pm and arrival we found that the driver had ran away. We know him, we know where he stays, and no arrests have been made yet. This really breaks my heart,”
JMPD spokesperson Xolani Fihla said: “The department is aware of this matter, a case has been opened criminally and internally JMPD is assisting SAPS to deal with the case,” said Fihla.
