The release of matric results last week triggered pain and grief for the family of a 20-year-old KwaZulu-Natal matriculant who was shot dead while he awaited results of his final examination.
He had completed matric at Mehlokazulu High School in Imbali, Edendale, with a bachelor's pass. Zikhali planned to study sound engineering, had been accepted to study at a private college and was awaiting news from DUT and UKZN.
“When I saw other people rejoicing after seeing their results, celebrating, I got all emotional. With Mvelo, we could not experience that. Instead, we had to mourn him because he was taken from us on the day we were supposed to be celebrating his achievement“The other painful part is that after a year there has still been no arrest.”
“We did celebrate for her, but you could see that everyone was only thinking about Mvelo. Even the day before the results were announced last week, everyone was down. We were all very upset by his death. My mother is trying to come to terms with herself, and I think going to church and praying every Sunday helps her,” she said.
