One witness said the deceased, who was in the company of a female friend, had spent the night at the nearby hangout spot.
At the crack of dawn, he had an altercation with the suspect that led to a fight. At the time, there were a lot people who watched the brutal killing of Dlamini, but none tried to help him.

“As they exchanged heated words, blows were exchanged, until Dlamini was hit on the head with a big stone and fell on the ground. When police arrived at the scene, the crowd dispersed, including the female friend who was with Dlamini the whole night,” the eye witness said.

“His assailant stamped on him until he was left motionless,” one eye-witness narrated. 
During the visit to the incident scene at about 8am yesterday, there were still a couple of people who were watching police from the Scenes of Crime Unit writing statements.
The male and female police officers were seen carrying a yellow measuring tape, near the spot where Dlamini was said to have been taken to the hospital.
