A YOUNG man was stabbed to death allegedly by a gang during a dispute at a pens down party in Boitekong outside Rustenburg, North West on Friday, 3 December.
Unathi Motseki’s gogo, Ruth Radilwana (61) said they were deeply saddened by the 20-year-old’s death.
She said Unathi was a good and well-behaved child.
“He asked to attend the pens down party with a friend and that was the last time we saw him.
“We got anxious when we heard someone was stabbed and went to the police station. The description we got matched him and I knew it was him,” she said.
His friend (21) said Unathi had accompanied him to the party.
