A Shocking Discovery

After nearly a month of anguish, Khaya’s body was found at a local government mortuary. He had been stabbed, and evidence suggests he was ambushed near a local garage. Reports claim that he had stopped to buy airtime before being followed and attacked.

Sources close to the case allege that three individuals were involved in the murder, including one of Khaya’s friends and a local shebeen owner known for his ruthless reputation. Disturbingly, it is believed that many locals knew about the incident but stayed silent out of fear of the shebeen owner.

Unanswered Questions and Ongoing Investigation

Police are actively investigating the case and are reviewing CCTV footage from the garage where Khaya was last seen alive. The shebeen owner has reportedly fled, and his establishment has remained closed since December 17, 2023—the day Khaya is believed to have been killed.

Adding to the heartbreak, sources revealed that one of Khaya’s friends posted a cryptic status on December 17th, stating, “Khaya is no more,” further deepening suspicions.
