Produced by Peter MoyoMarch 08, 2012 Surrounded by a jeering mob, 26-year-old Zimbabwean Farai Kujirichita was bludgeoned to death in Diepsloot, Johannesburg in February 2011. His horrifying final moments captured on a video that thrust South Africa’s xenophobic violence back into the international spotlight. This week’s Special Assignment brings you a follow-up of the mob killing of an innocent Zimbabwean, by angry residents of the Diepsloot informal settlement. Kujirichita was still alive when a man in a white cap methodically destroyed his face and skull with a heavy wooden plank. He was probably dead or dying when another man grasped his belt and punched him repeatedly in the groin and a grinning teenage girl raised a large chunk of cement above her head. A year since his killing, we investigate what has happened to Farai’s killers and bring you more exclusive footage implicating them. On the eve of the sentencing, some of the suspects speak to us. Are some of the suspects being haunted by Farai’s spirit as predicted by his family?
