Malema apologises for Elvis Nyathi killing

BY PROBLEM MASAU
VOCAL South African opposition leader Julius Malema has asked for forgiveness from Zimbabweans on behalf of his country following the killing of Elvis Nyathi, an immigrant who was working in the neighbouring country.

Malema, who leads the Economic Freedom Fighters, was speaking on the occasion of Zimbabwe’s Independence Day commemorations.

Nyathi was stoned and set ablaze two weeks ago by an angry mob in Diepsloot for failing to produce an identity document.
