Mystery surrounds the death of the SA man who was found hanging from a tree in Zimbabwe on New Years Day, with his family saying they do not believe he died by suicide but that he was murdered.
Sowetan has learnt that Thabang Mokonyane, 23, from Mokopane, in Limpopo, had gone to Lutumba near Beitbridge in Zimbabwe on December 30 to make amends with Khathutshelo Mbedzi, who was his girlfriend and the mother of his three-year-old child.
Mokonyanes family also claims no knowledge about his trip, as they were under the impression that he did not possess a passport. According to them, he had left Mokopane to sell nuts in Polokwane.
