Very good

The dead must get justice

FAMILY SEEKS HELP RETURNING BODY TO NIGERIA

The family of an e-hailing driver, who was killed in Pretoria West this week, is pleading for assistance to return his body home to Nigeria.

22-year-old Isaac David Satlat, was strangled to death by two passengers who had requested the e-hailing service.

The hijacked vehicle and Satlat's body were found in Atteridgeville on the same day.

Satlat's uncle and family spokesperson, Otila Onoja, said their family is devastated.

"We need funds to take him back home so that he can be laid to rest in his hometown where he's from. We need more to be done. This is very heartbreaking for us and we need more safety for other people who are working on this job, like Isaac."

Satlat, who was studying mobile engineering, was set to graduate next month.

South Africa's Meter Taxi and E-hailing Association's Eugene Ngoetjana says drivers are being targeted by criminals.

"My gut is telling me that this is criminality. It was opportunism. If anything, we found that our drivers are highly targeted simply because it's easy for anyone to just request the right. It's literally the easiest or the most laziest form of criminality that we find in society today. So to be honest, it is just something that is linked to our job's bloodbath, a lack of opportunities, and criminality will, what can I say, fester in this kind of economic conditions and not to make an excuse for the criminality itself, but that was pure opportunism, that was pure criminality, and it cannot be conflated with other broader issues."

Isaac's uncle speaks to South African media.

South Africans don go quiet since the incident reaveled they have the worst of criminals on earth..... SMH

Despicable! Do the crime, do the time!

These people and Zimbabweans are very dangerous, when I am in South Africa I try my best to have as minimal contact with them as possible, they can pretend to be so sweet but will be planning you evil and I noticed they get very jealous of foreigners easily

She's still wearing s hat?

Something wey you supoose take plaster her face.

It is a pity that the young man is gone forever

Man inhumanity to man .. how do you go to bed at night?

The fact that the killing was captured on video and went viral adds another layer of horror, showing the brutality and the emotional toll it takes on families and communities. Rest in Peace

That was fast, if it were in Nigeria, it would take ages to arrest the suspects.

South Africa is becoming something else
Thank God for their government.because they still have human feelings,not like our demonic leaders here

That is a sound police organisation at work. In less than 7 days the suspects got apprehended. Nigerian police will take 40 years and still be investigating without making headway.

This woman is very hardened, I hope she gets the death penalty!

The poor innocent boy was murdered 😔😔😔

I dey tell People Lagos Thug nice....



If you jam SA traffic robber you fit find yourself inside a body bag ..



He gets some poor man type of Car you can still drive in SA. That car will put your life in danger..


Imagine someone doing legit una still kill am. Na drug una dey always lie on as death sentence...

Dere people are online blaming the guy for not having his own Uber profile and justifying the killing...

It's funny how criminals become humble after they're caught...see dem looking down like they're sorry...hope the family of the dead get deserved justice.

Quick response from S.A's 12. Commendable!
