Thoriso Themane’s death drew a widespread outcry and condemnation and an online petition demanding justice was started on Monday.
Themane, 27, was assaulted and left for dead on Saturday night in the Flora Park suburb. An oblivious Themane was returning home from music practice at church when he was accosted and attacked. Police said he was found on Sunday and taken to hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. Two gruesome clips showed a bleeding Themane being dragged, punched, and kicked. The second clip showed his apparently lifeless body being dragged along a street.
Themane’s death drew a widespread outcry and condemnation. National police commissioner General Khehla Sitole also condemned the attack and called on communities to work with the police rather than taking the law into their own hands.
