SIDWASHINI – Engen Garage employees at Sidwashini were left traumatised after one of their own lost his life in the hands of a customer.

The indecent happened at around 4pm yesterday.
Information gathered from those found at the scene was to the effect that the employee was stabbed after a short argument with the customer, who was driving a Honda Fit.

An eyewitness alleged that the fuel attendant’s sin was reminding the customer about the E40 he was owing to the garage after filling up his car sometime ago.
They said what made things worse was the fact that the suspect, who fled the scene after stabbing incident,  was well known to the fuel attendant as they attended the same Zion church. The eyewitness said while the duo argued over the E40, the customer allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the unsuspecting petrol attendant in his upper body.
“We saw him staggering before he fell to the ground, with blood oozing from his neck area. We suspect he died on the spot,” said one of the employees.
He said the driver sped off while the other employees were not aware that their colleagues had been stabbed. The majority of the employees declined to comment, stating that they were still traumatised.  “We have nothing to say since we have not reported the incident to our superiors,” said the employees.
