Sadly a cousin of ours was killed last night -- and by a member of the first family of the town. The killer landed a single punch, which felled him in the street. An ambulance came by, and found our cousin still alive -- drove away, and returned -- and found him dead. They tend to do a tour when they visit a township. His body lay for hours in the street then, while one waited on Forensics. The deceased is a big man, a powerful man. The scene was surrounded by the homes of family members, who hurried to see him. OBSERVATION: I have photos of the township on this blog, called Mountain View. In Xhosa kinship terms, he may sometimes be called a brother of my wife.
