Mtonga tried to run away but Soko who was in the Gulewankulu regalia kept on chasing him. After getting tired Mtonga stopped after which Soko started whipping him with a stick.
After feeling the pain of the stick, Mtonga strongly retaliated back by snatching the stick and whipped Soko back. Soko fell on the spot and he was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
