Nathaniel Bradley ‘Lockie’ Julies was laid to rest on Saturday 5 September. Had he not been shot by the police it would have been the day he got his fortnightly haircut from his uncle.

Daily MaverickMother of Nathaniel Julies, Bridget Harris watches over the coffin of her late son during the church service at the Mount Carmel Ministries Church in Eldorado Park, Johannesburg, South Africa on 5 September 2020.

Apart from his love for his biscuits, singing, church, and dancing, Nathaniel was also described by Brown as a unifier. Brown said when the family fought, everyone would calm down as soon as Nathaniel walked into the house. Dozens of police officers and about 20 police vehicles, including two Johannesburg Metro Police Department and SAPS trucks, were at the funeral. It appeared that the police were expecting unrest, but none occurred despite tensions running high since the killing.

Children are seen crying at the Klipsruit Cemetary, where the body of Nathaniel Julies was laid to rest.
