His aunt Nomayeza said Amos was gunned down by an Empd official who was in an unmarked car in the afternoon."Four of my grandchildren aged between five and eleven were rushed to Botshelong Hospital after they were badly injured alongside their uncle," she said.
Nomayeza said an unarmed vehicle approached their home and all hell broke loose as bullets rained in the yard. "We are terrified as the Amos family to have witnessed such gruesome tragedy; we almost lost five family members and we demand answers and justice. Amos said they were now living in fear because the drive-by shooters could come back for more family members.
"We don't don't know the motive of the shooting, however, we are praying for our lives after this," said Nomayeza. Would you like to comment on this article or view other readers' comments? Register or sign in now.
This not the true reflection of what really happened.
This sounds like people who were having a party inside the yard
KhuselaS this side ..... since you close to CyrilRamaphosa just pass him this news & following pic myb he will be satisfied. Black ppl are being treated like thugs,the brutality of the law enforcement is so scary but on the White ppl no they don't even lay their hands on them
MbalulaFikile CyrilRamaphosa
Senseless murder. We are early in lockdown and already people are dying at the hands of police. If the metro police mess up now, 21 days will be very long time to live in fear.
Crossfire between who and who?
RIP😣😣
I dont believe he was in the yard
Resist the tyranny
Sue the bloody government, their job is to protect not to harm.
Terrible!

With all the visibility of Police and Soldiers around the streets due to the LockdownSA we have such shooting of people yoh...
Why does the headline say allegedly as if this might not have happened police shot an unarmed black man in his yard police are using this as a opportunity to abuse their power where is bheki Cele
At this point I don't know what people want the police to do. We are dealing with a Pandemic and some ppl are not listening. Why should the police be soft on holigans?.. Lock down means lock down unless people are buying essentials or queueing for Sassa.
😭😭😭😭
Is this incident even related to the lockdown? The article is not assisting at all.
Mmm 🤔
TsikiMabala BHeki cele gave them too much power now they abuse it
The bullets will tell if it was EMPD or not
Is going to get worse. Ntsiki called it. Imagine dieing of a bullet while running away from flu.
The police are fighting this virus they can't see with guns, give them water guns for now
I wish family members could tell the whole truth sometimes. This story has so many gaps
I'm confused by the headline. Did the man die or is he hospitalized
It was a drive by shooting. Not related to the lockdown. Please don't do this click bait nonsense during such a difficult time.

LuloCafe On the other news: Privileged citizens

EMPD officer in an unmarked car? Was he in EMPD uniform, or was he known to the victim and the family to be an EMPD officer? Because if it’s the latter, then there’s clearly a history and if it’s the former, then the officer must face the full might of the law as a murderer
I am CONFUSED by the story.
Unmarked police car? The story lacks merit
Penxenxe Sowetan live are our rights being taken away from us ask those questions to the government ?
The article is confusing...
GovernmentZA eNCA Newzroom405 CyrilRamaphosa this is uncalled for!! JacksonMthembu_ MmusiMaimane
Luyanda_Maf We too quick to point fingers .. let's not ! It's is sad that state of affairs for Amos and his family and may God see them through them this time. As we wait for the investigation
Newzroom405 SABCNewsOnline enca LandNoli PresidencyZA JacksonMthembu_ Effgroundforces EFFSouthAfrica
This sounds more like a hit
The journalism🤦🏾♂️... your story has innuendos, and spreads more panic. Was there a shoot out between the police & the drive by car? What were the police doing in the area? Were they patrolling for Covid and saw a drive by and tried to intervene? Or it was just police shooting?
Sue the state back and forth...
GovernmentZA CyrilRamaphosa SAPoliceService this is NOT IT!!!!!!!!!
Luyanda_Maf Yho SAPoliceService don't be trigger happy. SA is not America
They only shoot black people
Now police must knw the motive ,the family mst wait 4 da police to do their investigation
