Reading Time: < 1 minute

The funeral service of Luyanda Tshabalala who was allegedly accidentally shot dead by his father at Fred Norman Secondary School in Ennerdale, south of Johannesburg is underway.

The teenager’s father, Sibusiso Tshabalala fatally shot him upon his return from an evening class on Tuesday.

Tshabalala says he had fallen asleep in the car, while waiting for his Grade 11 son, and thought he was being hijacked as Luyanda tried to get into the car.

The father appeared in the Lenasia Magistrates’ Court on a murder charge on Thursday and was released on a warning.

The 51-year-old father of four says the shooting is something that will haunt him for the rest of his life. He asked to be released on bail so he can bury his son in dignity.

The State did not oppose bail and it was granted.

The matter has been postponed to July 24 for further investigation.
