Nkululeko Ngubane, KZN EFF spokesperson also commented, saying that the EFF calls call upon the Department of Internal Relations “to intervene by making sure that justice prevails as many South Africans continue to die at the hands of white extremists.”
Myeni moved to Honolulu, with his family at the beginning of the year.
