Mandla Hlatshwayo's brother Sipho is grappling to come to terms with his brother's killing.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE outside their family home in Chiawelo in Soweto, Sipho struggled to fight back tears as he spoke about his brother.

"I am deeply hurt and did not see this coming. I am shocked because I just saw him on Friday," Sipho said.

The mood outside the family home was sombre as a prayer service which was attended by friends, family and neighbours had just ended.
