Nkosikhona Khumalo, an eyewitness and neighbour, said he tried to stop the brawl and even invited the brothers to his house to discuss their problems. “They refused and seemed to have calmed down.
“Jabu pretended as if all was fine but I could see that he was still angry. The next thing, he went inside the house and came out wielding a knife and stabbed his brother. I have never seen such a scene with blood everywhere.
“It will take me years to forget what I saw, it was horrific especially because they were blood brothers,” he said.
An eyewitness and neighbour, Nkosikhona Khumalo, said he tried to stop the brawl and even invited the brothers to his house to talk about their concerns. “Jabu did the unthinkable, according to him, he was trying to scare Dumisani. We are still shocked by his behaviour,” he said.
Colonel Mavela Masondo, a spokesperson for the Gauteng SAPS, verified the horrible occurrence and said that on Sunday, May 28, 2023, at around 9 p.m., two brothers were at their house in Evaton West Ext 11.
