Initially thought to be a robbery, John’s sister Verina Mansour informed the Sun her brother didn’t even own a cellphone. “He had some money on him at the time of the incident, but all they took was his jacket, which they threw down a few metres away from where they stabbed him. They didn’t even take his money.”
According to Verina, seven men were walking behind John. As he passed Johan Mostert’s house at number 82, electricians working on Johan’s electric gate heard a scuffle break out.
“John was stabbed twice in the back,” said Verina. “He ran back to Johan’s house and was still coherent enough to give them his brother Carl’s phone number.”
Carl rushed John to Kingsway Hospital, but as he had no medical aid, he had to be transported to Prince Mshiyeni Hospital. “One of his main arteries in his back was punctured and he lost so much blood he died at about 5.30pm on Sunday night.”
John moved to Toti from Johannesburg at the age of 10 and attended Port Shepstone High School. “He never had a worry in his life,” said Verina. “He was a free-spirited and gentle man, with a loud laugh, but a quiet personality.”
The family intends to build a memorial garden in remembrance of John, their father Beck and four other family members who were all victims of crime.
They have offered a R5,000 reward leading to the conviction of the murderer. Contact WO Jwara on 031-913-1329.
