THREE Khayelitsha men got the beating of their lives – allegedly at the hands of church members!
Brothers Khululekani (24) and Akhona Ngcana (29) and their friend Zibele Ginisile (26) said they were accused of stealing a Samsung phone on Sunday.
Khululekani said he was walking near a church when people grabbed him.
“They accused me of stealing a phone. They beat me up and dragged me into the church. Once inside they continued to beat me and even brought in my brother Akhona, and Zibele. They too were beaten,” he said.
Zibele sells smileys a few streets from the church. He said he was with Akhona at his business when a group of about 10 people dragged them to the church.
“We were beaten but no phone was found on us.”
When Daily Sun visited the family, Akhona was asleep, trying to recover from the beating.
The two brothers’ mother, Lulama Ngcana (58), said she found her children bleeding in the church.
“The church must pay for what they did,” she said.
Revolution Church spokesman Welcome Mabhuko said he was aware of the incident but denied it took place in church.
“The young man was beaten by people in the street. When he came to the church he was already bleeding,” he said.
