The brutal attack was captured on camera on Saturday morning by a journalist from South Africa's Sunday Times newspaper who was in the neighborhood to interview a number of foreign-born shopkeepers who'd had their businesses looted overnight.
But as children played in the streets and onlookers stopped to inspect the damage from the previous evening, the Mozambique-born passer-by was brutally attacked without warning by a man carrying a metal wrench.
As Mr Sithole sat injured in the gutter another thug saw what was going on and joined in the attack using a knife to stab him repeatedly while the first attacked continued to beat him with the wrench.
A third attacker - wearing a grey hoodie - then reportedly entered the fray, running over and kicking Mr Sithole in the head as he pulled out a large butcher's knife. Before he had the chance to use the knife a witness intervened and the three men fled the scene.
It was too late for Mr Sithole, however, who managed to stumble along the road pleading for help for his fatal injuries before collapsing fatally injured in a rubbish-strewn gutter.

Thank God all the perpetrators of this evil acts are being caught and they must be made to pay.
The south African police reportedly said that 3 men arrested have been arrested and a manhunt for the fourth person is on.. The three are expected to appear in a Magistrate court in Alexandra today Tuesday April 21 on charges of murder
May the Soul of Mr. Emmanuel Sithole rest in peace.
Say No to violence ! Say No to Xenophobia!!
