A heartbreaking tragedy has shaken both the Zimbabwean community and the Cape Town suburb of Phillipi after two brothers, Donald and his younger sibling Nowell, were found dead following a violent incident. The pair, who lived in Zola informal settlement in Strand, had just returned home after a long day of work. Donald, known in the area as a hardworking e-hailing driver and part-time mechanic, had been supporting his younger brother who had only arrived from Zimbabwe a few weeks earlier. Their family describes them as quiet, focused young men who were working hard to build a better future.
According to early reports, two armed men approached Donald as they entered their yard, leading to a struggle. When the younger brother saw the danger, he reportedly stepped in to protect him. The attackers allegedly forced both men into their vehicle and fled the scene. The car was later discovered in Phillipi, where authorities confirmed the tragic loss of the two brothers. Their family and community are devastated, searching for answers and hoping justice will be served. A video commentary discussing the incident is shared in the comments section for those seeking more details.
