Timeline of His Disappearance

Nzama had been missing since Sunday, 1st February, when he was last seen at the KwaMakhutha Taxi Rank on Russell Street, Durban. Witnesses reported that he was brutally assaulted by taxi drivers, but after that, he disappeared without a trace. His family searched tirelessly, checking police stations, hospitals, and even the mortuary, hoping for any sign of him.

Little did they know, he had already been found dead on the M4 and taken to the mortuary. Why was there no immediate identification? Why was his family not informed earlier? These are the questions that remain unanswered.

Questions Remain: What Really Happened?

His family and the community are now demanding justice. How did he end up on the M4? Was he left for dead after the assault, or was there more to his disappearance? Authorities must act swiftly to investigate what really happened that night.

Nzama was last seen wearing a white Leon de France football jersey with red stripes, black track pants, black Vans sneakers, and a black SPCC cap. His brutal death has left his loved ones shattered and has sparked outrage across social media.
