Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The family and friends of the murdered Zimbabwean national Elvis Nyathi will gather in his memory in Hillbrow on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Nyathi (43) was killed and burnt by vigilantes in Diepsloot who were moving from door to door looking for undocumented foreign nationals following a spate of armed robberies and murders in the area.<\/p>\n

Nyathi\u2019s brother Godknows, confirmed the father of four will be laid to rest in Zimbabwe this weekend. He said:<\/p>\n

All the paperwork has been completed, we will be holding a memorial service on Thursday afternoon and we will then leave for Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

Godknows denied reports that his brother\u2019s widow Nomsa Tshuma had fled Diepsloot.<\/p>\n

He said his sister-in-law is now in the care of relatives who could not leave her alone in the home she shared with her late husband.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Wednesday granted Nyathi a state-assisted funeral.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Misheck Sibanda said:<\/p>\n

The Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Dr M.J.M. Sibanda, wishes to announce that His Excellency the President; Dr E.D. Mnangagwa, has granted a State-assisted funeral to the late Elvis Nyathi who was slain in South Africa last week.<\/p>\n
