A black South African man was shot three times in the chest allegedly over a political argument he had with his White neighbour on Saturday evening.
The alleged argument, over ANC Youth League president Julius Malema, broke out shortly after 7pm between Siyabonga Ndabeni and his white neighbour in a Queenstown suburb in South Africa.
Ndabeni was rushed to Queenstown Private Hospital and later transferred to Life St Dominic's Hospital in East London on Sunday. He has since been moved from the ICU.
A friend of Ndabeni's who claims to have witnessed it all, Siyabulela Dumalisile, alleged the neighbour hurled "abusive and racial" comments at them on Saturday evening.apologised to him."
He said when Ndabeni and the man started arguing about Malema the whiteman shouted at them saying that they think they can do whatever they like South AFrica because of Malema, and said he'd shoot them right there and then because they are were kaffirs.
According to Dumalisile, the man then allegedly pulled a gun and shot his friend in the chest three times.
The neighbour was arrested and is due to appear in the Queenstown magistrate's court soon.
Police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Gcinikaya Taleni said he would only know the "full details" of the case today.
