Mob burns man to death W NCEBA DLADLA

HAT started as an insignificant argument between two young initiates about how much the other knows about the rite of passage to manhood, referred to as Ukudodisana, resulted in a Kamvelihle family losing a son and their home to an angry mob of residents.

Simthembile Ncamiso (24) was allegedly forced to drink petrol and later burnt to death by an angry mob in Motherwell last Thursday. According to police reports, Simthembile was taking punishment for the sins of his younger brother Siyamcela (20) who was involved in an altercation with another young initiate about manhood in a tavern. “It seems the young initiate was asked certain questions about the intricacies of what’s happen-

ing in the bush and when satisfactory answers were not forthcoming, a fight broke out,” said Port Elizabeth police spokesperson Constable Mncedi Mbombo. A beaten young man went home and returned with his father. According to Mbombo, the father was also allegedly beaten by Siyamcela. This angered the community who went to Siyamcela’s home in Mngwevu Street and found Simthembile.

“The mob allegedly forced him to drink petrol and later burnt him to death,” said Const Mbombo, adding that the crowds later petrol-bombed the family home of the Ncamisos. No-one else was injured in the incident. “The father (46) heard a bang on the window. It was a petrol bomb from members of the community who were outside the house. Community members continued to throw stones until police arrived and quelled the fire. Continued on p 3
