Brother of slain remand
detainee wants warders held accountable
Eight warders who allegedly
beat and killed a Durban remand detainee have been suspended, but not arrested,
The Star reports. The warders are said to have assaulted Bongani
Makhubu, 27, after he had stabbed two fellow inmates during breakfast. His
brother believes that the warders should have responded differently to Makhubu’s
actions. “If he did something wrong, they should have locked him up or not
allowed him visitors for a few months; they cannot just kill people,” he said.
