The decomposing body of a 53-year-old traditional healer was found hanging in his home in Mawothi – KZN. The incident came to light when a concerned resident contacted Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) after making the grim discovery during a wellness check.
Upon receiving the call, RUSA members were immediately dispatched to the scene. They arrived to find a crowd gathered outside the house, with a pungent smell emanating from within. Upon further investigation, they located the extensively decomposed body hanging by a rope tied to a wooden rafter.

The house and a kitchen adjacent to the main building were found to be ransacked. A broken window and forced burglar bars indicated a possible point of entry for the perpetrator(s) (see Picture 2). The deceased had not been seen for approximately two weeks prior to the discovery.
An investigation will now be conducted to determine whether the victim was murdered or if it was a case of suicide. The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, and authorities will be working diligently to uncover the truth.
