A Cape Flats man has been stoned to death after trying to steal electricity cables.
The man, only identified as Masangweni, was found tethered to a tree in Brown’s Farm, Philippi, on Wednesday.
Philippi residents spotted him early in the morning trying to cut wires from the informal settlement’s illegal electricity connections.
Enraged community members caught the startled thief, tied him up and stoned him to death.
The bloodstained stones could be seen next to Masangweni’s battered body.
A Philippi resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, says Masangweni was a notorious skollie who had been terrorising the community.
“We had just had a meeting with him about his thug life and he told us he had changed, but then he was caught stealing,” he says.
“When we had the meeting, we told him someone will kill him. And it turned out exactly like that, although it happened in another area.”
The man says Masangweni was part of a burglary syndicate.
“They stole fridges from people’s shacks when there was no one at home,” he says.
“They would hire a cockroach taxi and transport the fridges to another area.
“But we caught them and forced them to show us where they sold the fridges and other goods.
“They did and we let them go with a warning.”
Police spokesman Captain FC van Wyk says a murder docket is open.
“At about 5am, a body of a man was discovered tied to a tree with multiple wounds,” he says.

Weidmanns manns manns manns Heil!
Auf dem Lande, auf dem Meer,
lauert das Verderben
Die Kreatur muss sterben!
Sterben!
Weidmanns manns manns manns Heil!
Sterben!
Weidmanns manns manns manns Heil!
The killers must have patted themselves and each others on the back, with the successful kill.
No meat on the table tonight kids, but hope you got the example. This is how we kill in a collective for power.
