Residents of Ledumadumane who live next to the soccer ground where the game was played, related that a fight started after one supporter refused to leave the pitch."Suddenly we saw the man lying down with a lot of blood oozing from him," said one eyewitness who wanted to remain anonymous. Ishmael Moseki, who allegedly stabbed the supporter with a sharp instrument, tried to run away when he realised that the crowd was baying for his blood.
He could not outrun the mob which attacked him with an assortment of weapons such as knives, stones and bottles. By the time the police officers arrived, Moseki had breathed his last."I did not even want to see anyone by my side, I could not trust anyone. It was the first time I saw a person being killed so inhumanely," said a young man who witnessed the mob lynching. Swallows caretaker coach, Ephraim Seagateng said he could not give an account of the incident as police investigations are still ongoing.He added that by the time the fighting broke out, he was far from the scene.
