DURBAN - THE family of Lindani Myeni, who was shot dead by Hawaii police in Honolulu on Wednesday, believe his death was an act of racism.
Born in Empangeni, the 29-year- old former rugby player had moved with his wife and children to the island early last year.
Myeni, who went to George Campbell Technical High School, was killed when police said they were responding to a home burglary incident. It is not clear what Myeni was doing outside the home.
When the police arrived at the scene, a scuffle ensued between Myeni and the three police officers.
