Eunice Khavetsa’s husband was a security supervisor at the mall
Eunice Khavetsa is oblivious to the stares she elicits
as she stalks around the MP Shah Hospital red eyed and with a leso
wrapped over her trouser.
Her main concern now is finding a way to get the
father of her two children, Maurice Adembetsa, out of the hospital
mortuary that she’s been informed cannot hold his body longer than the
two days he’s already been there.
“I’m trying to organise for his transportation from here to Chiromo
but I don’t have any money so I first have to get a hold of his employer
and see if they will help me,” she tells Capital FM News.
Her husband’s former employer is the security firm that had been
engaged to secure the Westgate mall and had succeeded to do so before
Saturday when gun-toting terrorists went on the rampage.
“I was told that when the terrorists arrived they tried to force
their way into the shopping mall and so his subordinates called him for
help,” Khavetsa says relating what she’s heard of her husband’s final
moments.
“But when the terrorists saw him make his way to their vehicles they
got out and started shooting. He was a supervisor so he didn’t wear a
uniform but I think they saw his radio,” she continues before breaking
down.
Seeing his daughter-in-law unable to continue, Jackton Ombesa takes
over and explains that his son took at least seven bullets to the body.
“There were four bullet wounds on his chest, one through his throat,
another one to the leg and one even took his ear off,” the 70-year-old
small-scale farmer narrates as he uses a dirt-stained index finger to
show exactly where the bullets pierced.
