A 28-year-old Zambian national has died after being knifed and stoned in South Africa by a group of about 30 enraged taxi and minibus drivers in the South African.
Zambia’s High Commissioner to South Africa, Emmanuel Mwamba, said Thursday that the incident happened in Klerksdorp, northwest of the country.
The Zambian envoy said the Zambian national was killed in a case of alleged mistaken identity as the mob wanted to carry out a revenge attack on an unidentified foreign national from West Africa for allegedly killing one of the taxi drivers.
No one has been arrested as the mob fled the scene after realizing that they had killed an innocent person.
