- By Ngwako Malatji

The family of a man who was fatally shot by Trompies member and EFF member of parliament Eugene Mthethwa has written a letter to the police demanding answers or the reopening of the case.

The family of Thulani Stanley Kweyama, who was shot and killed by Mthethwa outside Club 707 in Soweto in 1997, stated in a letter they wrote to the station commander of Orlando East Police Station on Friday that the police had not kept them posted about the developments of the case, 28 years after the incident, and as a result, they were unable to find closure.

“We, the Kweyama family, herewith request full information about the case that was opened against the musician and the EFF parliamentarian Eugene Mthethwa after he fatally shot our beloved son Thulani Stanley Kweyama (misspelt in his ID as Kwayama) in Orlando West (Soweto) outside Club 707 (currently the Home Affairs Building) in 1997.
