Chili's Aunt, Thokozani Zwane says they are puzzled why anyone would have targeted him.
"It was really sad to learn that Sakhile was shot and killed, because he was just such a free-spirited person. I cannot think of anyone who would want to even kill him using a gun. But then again - we do not know what happened on the day, we were not there. It was really painful to see him lying on the ground," Zwane said.
Meanwhile, a case of murder is being investigated. Police are waiting for post-mortem results.
