Godknows Nare: Shocking allegation by brother
Godknows was shot by Metro Police members at the corner of Hull Street and 4th Avenue when he went to fetch blankets from his sister.
Thabiso Nare, the brother of journalist Godknows who died in a hail of bullets in Florida on 17 April, does not believe that Godknows ‘was in the wrong place at the wrong time’.
Thabiso told the Record this past Friday (5 May) that he suspects a family member might be involved in the killing of his brother. He did elaborate but asked the newspaper not to publish all the information yet as he was still going to hand it over to the Independent Police Investigations Directorate (Ipid). It is believed that he will be doing so today (9 May).

The Metro Police claimed they were monitoring a hijacked vehicle close to Godknows’ vehicle. When they approached, shots allegedly were fired from Godknows’ vehicle. They returned fire and hit the journalist four times. But Ipid spokesperson Moses Dlamini said they could not find any proof that Godknows shot at the Metro Police.
