Drug Dealer’s Wife Explains How Sizokuthola Crew Pepper-Sprayed And Suffocated Him With A Plastic Bag

The girlfriend of the deceased drug dealer who was ‘killed’ by part of Xolani Khumalo’s Sizokuthola crew has shared details on the tragic incident.

According to Varrie’s girlfriend Eunice Raadt, they pepper-sprayed him and covered his face in a plastic bag until he died.

“Apparently acting on a tip-off, they cornered the occupant of the house, one Robert “Kicks” Varrie, and began interrogating him.

Varrie’s girlfriend, with whom he lived with their two children, was not home at the time.

Raadt told City Press that she was at a nearby hair salon when an entourage of vehicles passed by.

“I started hearing people making a noise, excited to see Xolani from the Moja Love TV show Sizokuthola. I noticed many people, including Amapanyaza and some camera crew. I rushed home and, on arrival, I found my baby on the ground and could hear Kicks screaming inside the house,” she said.

Raadt said she was prevented from entering the house, but, through the slightly open door, she was able to see a group of armed men, wearing masks, holding down her boyfriend.

Varrie’s pants were down, with his underwear showing some wetness.

According to her, the crew found two sachets containing drugs, but kept demanding that he give them more.

“They then placed a plastic bag around his head and pepper sprayed it before they suffocated him with it.

As they pinned him down, they said he should move his right leg as a signal that he wanted to confess,” she said.

Bystanders were recording the incident on their cellphones while others were trying to call the police to intervene.

Raadt said the “enforcers” then began confiscating people’s cell phones, including hers.

“A few minutes later, I saw a white double-cab bakkie reversing into our yard. Four well-built men loaded Kicks into the back of the bakkie and sped away.

I suspect that he was dead at the time and they’d dressed him in my clothes after he’d messed up the ones he was wearing. They clearly didn’t know whose clothes to dress him in,” she said.

After the enforcers disappeared with the father of her children, Raadt said that she and some friends started looking for him at local clinics. They were later told that he had been dropped at the Thelle Mogoerane regional hospital in Vosloorus.

On arriving there, Raadt and her friends were told by the nurses that Varrie had been declared dead at the time the bakkie had dropped him off.”
