SOWETAN | When they decided he did not die from the assault, where do they think Khosa sustained the blunt force injury to the head?
However, the family alleges that Khosa was brutally assaulted with the butt of a rifle, and that his head was banged against a concrete wall and a steel gate. They said he could not walk back into the house, had puked and lost speech after the attack.
It would be laughable for the SANDF to clear its own members of wrongdoing on a technicality like that, but sadly somebody died and this is a serious matter. And why did the panel of inquiry rely on statements in the docket only, did not interview the man who was with Khosa at the time or his family who witnessed the incident?
