22.05.2012
Vigilantism has resulted in another necklacing in Khayelitsha. Following a spate of robberies in Khayelitsha B Section, a mob of residents stoned and necklaced suspect Andile Mtsholo, 32, after he was accused of stealing cell phones. A bag full of cell phones was found next to his body. This brings to five the number of people killed by necklacing in Khayelitsha over the past few months.
