South African Police are investigating a case of suspected murder involving a Zambian national.
Zambian High Commissioner to South Africa, Emmanuel Mwamba confirmed that a Zambian national living in South Africa identified as Dickson Mailoni Kakoma of Pretoria, died in the early hours of Sunday morning.
He is believed to have been pushed from a flat on the 6th floor in Sunnyside area in Pretoria.
Mr Mwamba said that information gathered so far showed that after a night drinking with his friends, Mr Kakoma decided to visit his girlfriend, also a Zambian national at the said flat in the early hours of Sunday.
