Ezra Tshisa Sibanda says South African police have asked the wife of the late Elvis Nyathi Nomusa Tshuma to return to Johannesburg to identify people that were recently arrested in connection with his death.

Nyathi was brutally murdered by a vigilante group in Diepsloot last month.

Nomusa a mother of four children, said she is scared of going back to South Africa as she might be killed by the vigilante group.

SAPS guarantee her safety but said she should find her own transport to SA and they can only meet her at the border to transport her to Johannesburg.

She is appealing for help to raise her children and construct a house in Ntabazinduna area where Nyathi has an undeveloped stand.
