A Zimbabwean man beheaded in South Africa around the Durban area has been identified and claimed by a Victoria Falls family from pictures as Mr Never Charinya.
Disturbing pictures published by ZimEye.com in April showed a man’s decapitated head being held from the ear by one of the murder suspects.
Mr Charinya who called himself Papa Yeta, traveled to South Africa at the age of 32 in 1995, “and he never came back ,” a top relative told ZimEye.com.
The incident is suspected to have occurred sometime early this year when xenophobic violence began in several parts of South Africa.[lightbox link=”http://www.zimeye.com/http://www.zimeye.com/wp-content/live_images/2015/07/Never-Charinya2.jpg” thumb=”http://www.zimeye.com/http://www.zimeye.com/wp-content/live_images/2015/06/warning.png” width=”412″ align=”right” title=”warning” frame=”true” icon=”image” caption=””]  The South African government denied that the act was due to xenophobic violence.

Charinya’s family is now appealing for assistance with information on where Charinya could be buried and exactly where the murder occurred plus also details on who committed the heinous act.
“There is a story which you wrote about a man who was beheaded in South Africa”,  a top relative told ZimEye.com
We had a brother who went to South Africa in 1995. He never came back home, never communicated with anyone.
Yesterday we saw the disturbing picture of a man holding the head of a beheaded man, and the face resembles that of our son. Everyone here is very sure that he is the one killed.
This happened during the Xenophobia days.
“May you please kindly assist us with information of the dead man.
“We are sure he is our son. It will give us comfort to know the details of the dead man,” the relative who refused to be named because the deceased’s mother has not been notified, told ZimEye.com. Anyone with any information ias asked to contact the editor on Whatsapp +447426863301 Or Email at
