He says officers opened fire and Phumlani was hit and died.
"The police have shown no remorse, and no one is taking accountability.
"It would have been better if they admitted to their mistake. No one came back to the scene to inform the family of what has happened.
"We are only asking for justice. We want police to take action in bringing those implicated to book," says Sithole.
