At the time of the incident, the owner of the house was away in Johannesburg for work. According to local media in South Africa, Blaki was looking after the house of a Glendale resident Kopi Mtshali who works in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

Mtshali told the media that she asked Blaki to come and stay at her house because her house had been broken into two times before while she was away in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart is shattered because this young man was killed for being in my house,\u201d said Mtshali. She added that the people who killed Blaki were known in the community but had not been arrested by the police.<\/p>\n

Blaki\u2019s brother-in-law Joe Phiri told South African media that they were heartbroken. Phiri added that they were preparing to transport his body back to Malawi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
