It was a bittersweet and painful moment for the family of 20-year-old Msindisi Emanuel Phike when they were finally able to bury him this week.
This came almost six years after his death, following years of unanswered questions, delays and alleged mistreatment by police authorities.
Phikes remains were exhumed and reburied on Wednesday, nearly five years after the Mangaung municipality buried him as a pauper while his family was still awaiting DNA confirmation that the body found was indeed his.
