A neighbour of a 19-year-old man who was shot dead during the Shaun 101 street bash in Soweto and witnessed the incident says criminality among young boys in the township has become a fashion and violent attacks at year-end street parties are now the norm.
The teen was one of four men stripped naked and assaulted during an alleged mob justice attack in Diepkloof Zone 5 in Soweto in the early hours of Thursday.
Police said the motive is still under investigation, despite speculation on social media linking the attack to a rape.
