His brother Jan Gumede told Daily Sun on Friday, their father sent Nhlakanipho to deposit money at Capitec for groceries for their mum in Zululand.

“He had just arrived home from a private gig. My father asked him to go and deposit R1 000 for our mother,” he said.

“When he came back, my father had found out only R500 was deposited.”

Nhlakanipho returned to the bank the next day but the woman who had assisted him was not on duty
