It was just before 10 pm when slain Zimbabwean national and Diepsloot resident, Elvis Nyathi and his family, had just watched all their evening soapies when furious voices of a group of men got nearer and nearer their shack.

“Obviously, when you hear people shouting passport, and you have been hearing about Operation Dudula, you start to get scared,” she says.“These men came in and searched us and beat us up. No one was spared. They even got in one of the shacks and they were about to open the gas stove but they saw a little baby and they stopped. And as they were about to leave, they noticed Elvis, his wife and the other guy behind the shack.

“They asked for money and we were ready to give them everything we had and then they said they want R300. But we had R50 and they got angry and tied Elvis up and dragged him down the road like a dog,” she recollects hopelessly. “The police came, but these guys hid him from the police. Obviously, he no longer had a voice to scream at that time. And I think everyone was scared to ask the police for help,” she laments.The other victim, also beaten to a pulp and left to die on the rocky street divided by a stinky little stream of sewerage spill, is currently recovering in hospital.Elvis’s family is devastated. His younger brother, Miziayifani Nyathi says the family is not coping well with the tragedy.

your article is just rubbish 🗑 😑. Have you interviewed the families of those 7 people that were killed in that same community? Stop being biased against South Africans. PutSouthAficansFirst

BkMasoka Criminals intentions are always about money. That's not a surprise. So who in his/her right mind think that OperationDudula members will go around demanding money from communities?

The Reason South Africa is been Desrespected is due to the Fact Media is Misquoting and Twist tje truth to gain Popularity from Foreighners, we will never be independent intill Media broadcast the Yruth, SOUTH AFRICANS GRADUALLY LOOSE RESPECT & CONFIDENCE ON SA's MEDIA.

Why do they always demand R300?

This Dudula nonsense is not a ligit thing,it's pure thuggery pretending to represent the citizens of this country, why will you demand tjotjo from a person you want out of the country?
