SANCO member gunned down in Khayelitsha

Dyasi’s friend and colleague Mongezi Seti said that he was inside the surgery at 14h00 in the afternoon when he heard two gun shots and ran outside. There he found Seti lying next to the tap, in a pool of blood. Seti then rushed him to Khayelitsha Hospital in his car. Upon arrival the hospital staff saw that his condition was critical and that he would have to be transferred to Tygerberg Hospital. He died at about 17h00 in Tygerberg Hospital.

“There was a lot of blood and it looked like the bullets hit him in his lower back area. But you know people from the location when we asked them who did this? Nobody could give us any information because they’re afraid for their lives. I really do not know why he was killed,” said Seti.

Meanwhile a family friend happened to be walking passed the surgeory where Dyasi worked. She noticed a crowd of people gathered around so she asked what was going on? She was told that Dyasi had been killed and immediately contacted his family and that’s how Sizeka Qayi, Dyasi’s niece found out about the death of her uncle.

The family rushed to the scene but he, Dyasi, had already been taken to Khayelitsha hospital. When they got to the hospital they found Seti whose car was full of blood. They were then told that Dyasi had been taken to Tygerberg hospital. Eventually they got to Tygerberg Hospital at about 19h00 and were informed that Dyasi had died.

Dyasi leaves behind his three children and will be laid to rest this coming Saturday in his home town Cala, in the Eastern Cape. Police are still investigating the incident.
