During the interview, he paused several times trying to get his emotions under control.

“I kept on pleading and telling them they had the wrong man. I prayed that God would protect me as I was sure they were going to kill me,” he said.

According to the provincial police spokesperson Colonel Donald Mdhluli the men took both Mhlangu’s hands and left him behind in despair.

Mhlangu said the men accused him of stealing a battery at a local church.
