The family of Lindani Myeni, the South African man who was shot dead in Hawaii, has reportedly described police reports on his shooting as “one-sided”. Myeni’s aunt, Nonhlanhla Myeni, says she feels he would not have been capable of committing the burglary and police assault he was accused of before he was shot. Meanwhile, a campaign to bring back his body to South Africa, has raised more than R270 000 so far.
