Addressing the media on the scene of the murder, President Ramaphosa said relevant authorities are working with various stakeholders regarding the matter adding that his Government will take action to deal with this sad development.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe Community in South Africa Chairperson Ngqabutho Mabhena who also spoke against the act, described it as shocking before urging the South African authorities to take arrest the perpetrators and bring them to book.
