A South African community activist who recently went viral for confronting foreign shop owners has reportedly been shot dead at his home in Mahikeng Province.
The man, identified as Thato Molosankwe, was allegedly shot multiple times just days after a heated video of him spread across social media.
In the now-viral footage, Molosankwe was seen confronting Somali-owned businesses, demanding they shut down and leave the area before Friday. The clip triggered massive debate online, with some supporting his stance while others condemned the remarks as intimidation and xenophobic hate speech.
Reports say the attack happened at his residence, though authorities have not yet confirmed whether more than one gunman was involved. Police investigations are ongoing.
The shocking killing has intensified conversations around xenophobia, rising tensions in local communities, and the dangers of viral social media conflicts.
