The family of a 17-year-old who was beaten up by a mob that believed he fatally stabbed a man for R2 said he will not return home after his recovery because they fear he might be attacked again. The teenager, who is being treated for his injuries at Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, and is expected to make a full recovery, is the third victim of suspected vigilante justice in the Witsands informal settlement in Atlantis. The other two were killed.Last week, a woman who was caught stealing a DVD player and clothes was beaten to death by a mob. Two weeks earlier, Willem Meyers was dragged from his home and murdered for allegedly stealing from a farm.A community leader said the violence was in response to incidents in which a prominent member of the community was seriously hurt and a disabled man was stabbed after collecting wood in a nearby forest."There are people staying in this forest who are robbing people and hurting them," said the man, who asked not to be named."People walk through the forest to get to work in the factories on the other side, and are falling victim to crime. They say they will not call the police because it does not help. They say they will get their own justice."But not all residents were in agreement, and Maria Klaasen, who saw the youth being beaten in front of her house, said she lived in fear of the mob."We are not happy about the mob justice, I am afraid for myself and my family," she said.The family of the man allegedly stabbed by the boy were also against the mob justice, and said the matter should have been handled by the police.Police spokesman FC Van Wyk would not confirm a link between the murders and vigilantism, but said the cases were being investigated."This office can confirm that three cases of murder have been opened for investigation," said Van Wyk...
