A promising young soccer star had his life ruthlessly cut off in South Africa. Tadiwanashe Kuhuni who originally hails from Kadoma was gunned down as he sat in his coach’s car in South Africa. The unidentified gunmen sprayed bullets on him and his colleague aged 24.

The fact that he was killed in cold blood for no apparent reason has led to massive outrage. Others have labelled it a xenophobic attack. Many people have lost their lives in similar gun attacks in South Africa.

There have also been a lot of reported cases of people being gunned down especially women. It seems the lockdown and covid 19 pandemic has worsened issues of violence. There is speculation that the gunmen might have been after the coach rather than the young lad
