Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabwe\u2019s ambassador to South Africa, David Hamadziripi, was heckled by Zimbabweans when he attempted to make remarks at a memorial service of Elvis Nyathi, at the Underground Hillbrow Theatre on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Nyathi was brutally killed by a vigilante group in Johannesburg\u2019s Diepsloot township on Wednesday last week.<\/p>\n

Hamadziripi had to leave the hall as some Zimbabweans attending the event booed him, claiming that the ZANU PF-led Government is to blame for Nyathi\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Millions of Zimbabweans are living in South Africa doing menial jobs and earning meagre wages after being forced to migrate to the neighbouring due to prolonged economic challenges at home.<\/p>\n

Speaking soon after the event, Hamadziripi said the Zimbabwean Government is engaging South Africa to secure the safety of Zimbabweans. He said:<\/p>\n

In situations like this, there would always be comments that are made \u2026 The government of Zimbabwe is doing all it can.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s engaging the South African government in order to secure the safety of our nationals in this country.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Peter Moshosho, a South African citizen and chairperson of Africa Simunye, apologised on behalf of his compatriots for Nyathi\u2019s murder. He said:<\/p>\n

Generally, I would like to apologize to Zimbabweans because we are not expecting as South Africans that thugs in South Africa can kill our fellow black brothers in South Africa.<\/p>\n

So, that\u2019s why I\u2019m saying we really apologize for that. I\u2019m a Zimbabwean, I\u2019m a South African, I\u2019m a Mozambican, I\u2019m Sotho, I\u2019m a Nigerian. Africa must be one and we want one currency.<\/p>\n

Nyathi (43) worked in Fourways in the Johannesburg metropolitan region as a domestic worker.<\/p>\n

He was dragged from his home last week on Wednesday night by a mob in Diesploot and viciously assaulted.<\/p>\n

The group later necklaced him with an old tyre before setting it alight in the street, a few metres from his home.<\/p>\n
