Live ammunition ended EFF’s Moshe Mphahlele’s life

An autopsy report on slain Johannesburg Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) PR councillor Moshe Mphahlele shows he died after being shot by rubber bullets and live ammunition.

Mphahlele died on Sunday during a community protest in Alexandra Township.

It’s understood he was trying to mediate engagements between law enforcement agencies and homeless people who wanted to forcibly occupy empty government flats in the area.

In a media briefing on Thursday, Johannesburg MMC for Public Safety Mgcini Tshwaku, says according to incident statements, private security guards threw stun grenades at protestors.

“The statement indicates JMPD stood behind the private security and allowed them to discharge the stun grenades and shoot rubber bullets at the protestors. Close to about five – 10 individuals sustained injuries, two individuals were shot with live ammunition, one of them was councillor Mphahlele, who died on that day. Another one was a young boy in his early 20s, he was shot close to his heart,” said Tshwaku.
