The fatal stabbing of 19-year-old Nhlamulo Sambo in the Western Cape has ignited a fierce political and social debate.
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) MP Naledi Chirwa has launched a scathing attack on March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, alleging that the movement's rhetoric has contributed to a climate of hostility that preceded the fatal stabbing of 19-year-old Nhlamulo Sambo in the Western Cape.
Sambo was killed on May 31 in an incident that has ignited fierce political debate, renewed concerns over xenophobia and language-based discrimination, and prompted calls for accountability from political leaders and civil society organisations.
According to police, the teenager was fatally wounded following an altercation with a man. The suspect fled the scene and remains at large.
"He was declared dead by paramedics on scene. The suspect fled the scene. He is yet to be arrested," said police spokesperson Warrant Officer Christopher Spies.
