Sibusiso’s mother, Jesta Nkosi (79), said when the mob realised Sibusiso had lost consciousness they splashed him with water to help him regain consciousness.
“When he finally opened his eyes, he saw his aunt and confessed their plans to the mob.
“He was rushed to Pholosong Hospital, where he died four days later,” she said.
Nkosi added that even though her son was a drug addict, he didn’t deserve to be killed like an animal.
“I want the accomplice and the mob to be arrested and pay for what they did to my son,” she said.
