Family spokesperson Ndumiso Memela made the plea at the mass funeral of his slain relatives on Sunday. 

 

“We only have one request as a family to whoever we have wronged, whoever killed our father and returned to finish our family off,” he said.


“We are deeply sorry. Please help us communicate this to them wherever they might be. We have suffered enough now. If there are others who still want to come for us after this, we say we got the message - we are throwing in the towel. We are humbly asking for forgiveness as a family.”

Gunmen stormed the family's home in Imbali in the early hours of the morning and opened fire. 

 

One suspect was later killed during a shootout with police and another was wounded. 

 

A third suspect who was arrested appeared in court last week. 

 

Police are still looking for a fourth man who escaped.
