People stood by while a Mozambican man, Emmanuel Sithole, was cornered, stabbed in the heart and left to die.

This happened yesterday in Johannesburg and yes, he died from his wounds.

Killed just for being from another African country.. and the story told by the journalist who witnessed this brutal stabbing is heartbreaking!

As told by Beauregard Tromp and James Oatway for www.Timeslive.co.za

Shortly before 7am yesterday April 18th, Sunday Times journalists were in Alexandra township, near Sandton, speaking to shop owners who had their businesses looted overnight.

Children played, people walked the streets, some stopped to gawk at the carnage from the night before. Then this happened …

In a gutter in Alexandra a Mozambican man stopped and lay down. The gash to his chest meant he could go no further.

At the day clinic less than 100m away they could not help him.

The doctor scheduled to be on duty did not show up because he was a foreigner and feared being a victim of xenophobia.

It began on Friday night when mobs blockaded Arkwright Avenue, one of the main thoroughfares in Alexandra, with rubble and burning tyres.

Foreign-owned shops’ roofs were ripped open and metal gates torn away as looters went on the rampage.

Outside one spaza shop, a man in a black corduroy jacket and red shirt was walking along the road.

Suddenly a young man dressed in a grey tracksuit jacket beat him over the head with a wrench.

The red-shirt man tried to fend off the blows, his arms raised.

He stumbled back, falling into rubbish strewn by the roadside.

The blows with the wrench rained down. Then the bludgeoning stopped and the man with the wrench moved away.

“Are we safe here?” asked a South African woman watching the attack.

The man in the red shirt got up. Now another man with a beige spottie approached, holding an okapi knife high above his head.

Again, the man in the red shirt raised his hands, pleading for mercy.

But his pleas were in vain. He was stabbed … again and again

The two grappled and fell to the floor. The man with the wrench returned. Finally, a lanky young man sprinted towards the man among the rubbish, kicking him in the head.

The young man pulled a butcher’s knife. A man in a black leather jacket who had discouraged the attack grabbed the wrist with the butcher’s knife. The attackers fled.

The red-shirt man tried to get up but fell. Finally he made it to his feet. Feebly, he walked up the road.

Do you know why they attacked you? Who are you? Where are you from, we asked him.

He turned his head towards the questions fired at him, his face pleading.

He said nothing. His shirt was drenched, a 2cm gash in his chest.

Metres further he stumbled and lay down in the gutter. He struggled to sit up and fell down

Help me get him into the car. Help me, please,” said photographer James Oatway, looking around at the men gathered around him. One stepped forward, reluctantly.

Up the road, at Alexandra Day Clinic, nurses did what they could. There was no doctor; he would have to be taken to Edenvale Hospital.

Along the way the man was flailing wildly, sitting up, lying down, wincing with pain. The wound to his chest was gushing now.

At Edenvale Hospital a lone gurney stood at the entrance. The porters sat in a room with tinted windows. Oatway pleaded for help. The man in the car was critical, he said.

Slowly one porter rose and scribbled in a book. Then the other, both now ambling towards the hospital entrance. Inside the car the red-shirt man looked lifeless.

“He’s dead. We can’t take him,” one porter pronounced.

There was no pulse. Then a gag reflex. He’s alive.

Inside the ICU, doctors compressed his chest, massaging his heart. After nearly seven minutes a ventilator was used.

Shortly after 9am Emmanuel Sithole was pronounced dead. He was Mozambican. The stab wound to his chest had penetrated his heart.

In his pockets, R285 and 10c in change and a cellphone. His phone would ensure he did not die nameless.

On his wrist, three armbands read: “United for Bafana.

Too bad, I hate south africa for this, Deluded people ruled by a stu*pid king. To all u murderers and ur king peace must surely elude u , people will hear cries in ur homes "not cry of a baby but cries of death and weeping". U must surely reap what u sow.

wickedness of the highest order. Many may not be qualify for job even after the foreigners had gone

So sad....

RIP Dear. South Africa deserves excommunication from other African countries.

Only if i were the Incredible Hulk.....I would have dealt with these south africans,arrrrrrrah!....

This is pure madness. When will this nonsense stop

This is just too sad. The evil that lies in the hearts of men...

God punish those zulu people

Africa.

Things like these happen in Nigeria all the time though.

Do you guys know that it's only African businesses that are being attacked. The few white restaurants and other businesses owned by the few white foreigners are left alone

Barbarism.

The evil men do to themselves. This reminds me of Rwanda 1994.

Ahhhh. South Africans why na??

I'm an African and I say no to Xenophobic Attack by South Africans..

And somebody was there shooting series of photos after photos instead of calling for help.






See the result of too much social media

Terrible

useless bantus

Pathetic!!!

And as usual, the world stands and watch.
In ten years, Obama will tell us what he could have done

Jacob Zuma should be arrested.
The same goes to the Oba Akiolu of Zulu.

I never believed that Africans could be so cold blooded with each other.
Why not go to Cape Town to kill an English man or Dutch?
Why your brother from Mozambique?

I just started hating this animals more.

.... And Mozambique is just one minute away from South Africa.
Mandela would be reeling in his grave now.

If I had another shot at life, I woulf rather be a tree than be a human
