The family of ZandileMafe, who is accused of starting the fire at Parliament in Cape Town, says they will do everything to prove his innocence. parliamentonfire

Mafe’s family say they are saddened to see him making headlines for allegedly setting the fire in Parliament. The family says Mafe left home in 2004 and moved to Cape Town. He had been doing odd jobs there since then.

His brother, Alfred Matiwane, describes him as a loner, reserved and polite, saying he would not hurt anyone. “Really what happened to Zandile, I am very disappointed about it. Because from childhood when I grew with Zandile, Zandile is not a violent person. He never even harmed any person at school. I am so surprised when I hear that today Zandile is the one who burned the National Assembly.”

Mafe’s other brother, Zamile Matiwane, is equally upset and says they deserve to be told what led to his arrest. “What I can say is Zandile knows the truth, he is the only one who can tell us what happened knowing him as a quiet person. Somebody who does not have. Patricia de Lille as the Minister of Public Works and Majodina they should give us a full explanation as to what happened, we also need answers.”Khayelitsha residents say Zandile Mafe only moved to his home recently

Oh the RET forces paid this family to prove his innocence.

Long lost family member? People change and it's been long since they met or seen him

He didn’t do it. He didn’t.

WHY they did not do everything to keep Zandile Mafe of the streets?

Kanti where were they while mans is slumming it in the streets

wandile24796727 Thuli Madonsela was seen in despair

They should have done everything to get him off the streets, mara a re daar.

Family?

Very soon mafe is gonna be a rich man

So he has a family whilist living on the streets

They don't have to do anything. They must just sit back and watch the state exposing how stupid ANC gvt is. They can make millions by suing the state in return. We will see who gets bruised and swollen.

They (family) unfortunately, can't proof his innocence unless they were part of the group, I know he was alone but I'm sure you get the point. The information gathered at his place and his history is beginning to shed some lights in many respects. Let's leave the police to work

A very stupid family, where were they when he was living the life of a vagabond?

Good... Maybe they were there with him....

Should have done everything to get him off the streets....

Legal Aid?

Goodness , where was this family when he was homeless. Ukwi TV manje sebenendaba 😑arg

Wasn't this nigga homeless? Where the sudden family come from? I know opportunists when I see them 👀

This is a mission gone wrong, can the state show us the door which he broke to get an access to the building, or he used some of sophisticated unlocking devices used by James Bond? Now there is a rumor that, the vagrant has been in Russia for special operation.

In some issues you can see wat is ✔ or ❌ without investigation ND why a homeless man can set parliament on fire 🔥?

Family? Where do they come from all of a sudden?

Didn't they say they didn't know where he was until he was accused of arson?

They should sue the state for millions

He’s been on undercover operations for a long time,acting as a homeless person until the security personnel believed and ignored him🤔

Where did that failed journalist MarianneThamm get info that bhut'Zandile is an operative ? Busy posting pictures that are not clear accusing him of noncence

🙏

So now he has a family 👨‍👩‍👦👨‍👩‍👦👨‍👩‍👦 South Africa we live in!

I'm sure RET will help as well

Let us just say he is innocent until proven guilty
