President Emmerson Mnangagwa has accorded a State-assisted burial to Elvis Nyathi, who was brutally murdered in Diepsloot, South Africa, last week.
Nyathi (43), was stoned and set alight, with hands tied to his back, by a vigilante mob claiming to be fighting crime committed by foreigners in South Africa.
In a statement last night, permanent secretary for information confirmed the President’s decision.
“His Excellency the President, Dr ED Mnangagwa, has granted a State-assisted funeral to the late Elvis Nyathi who was slain in South Africa last week”.
Nyathi is expected to be laid to rest in the Malaba area of Kezi, Matabeleland South, during Easter weekend.
