JOHANNESBURG- Father who shot and killed his son accidentally Sisbusiso Emanuel Tshabalala was so heartbroken during his son funeral he revealed he wanted to take his own life.
The incident happened last week Tuesday in the south of Johannesburg in Ennerdale and during Luyanda’ funeral in Olifantsfontein cemetery during the weekend, his father had to be supported by family members as he broke-down repeatedly.
On Friday Luyanda’s mother Siphiwe Khalishwayo, 42, said she did not blame her husband who shot their son by mistake, after he mistaken Luyanda for a criminal.
She said, “You were an extraordinary person, so perfect and the heavens could not wait to welcome such a soul. No parents should endure this.”
Khalishwayo added her son had been a brilliant child, at school and at home.
“Luyanda was my second-born child. This was a child who would wake up and make sure he cleaned my house and cooked for me when he visited me,”
“I was looking forward to seeing what my child would be in the future. He excelled academically. I am hurt, but I don’t blame anyone for this. God knows why [it happened].”
At her son’s funeral she was too distraught to speak, a friend did so for her, Lesego Mohape said on behalf of Khalishwayo, “I am grateful for the life we’ve shared. You told me that you will one day become well-known and famous. Did you mean this [his death]?
“You were an extraordinary person, so perfect and the heavens could not wait to welcome such a soul. No parents should endure this.”
