Mohamed called on law-enforcement agencies to escalate their investigation and make sure that those responsible are brought to justice.
"Most importantly, authorities must regularly give progress reports of the investigation to his family so that they are informed of every step taken by the authorities," said Mohamed. According to Amnesty International, at the time of his death Rhadebe was the chairperson of the Amadiba Crisis Committee , a community-led initiative that has been opposing the opencast mining of titanium and other heavy minerals on communal land in Amadiba in the Eastern Cape.
"The ACC, which was established in 2007, has been fighting to protect the community's rights to their ancestral land," said the organisation. "Shortly after the killing of Rhadebe, the investigation was taken over from local police by the Directorate for Priority Crimes Investigation , commonly known as the Hawks.""Bazooka's family deserve to know who was behind the killing, and the authorities must ensure their right to truth and justice. Justice delayed is justice denied. Impunity should not be allowed to take over," said Mohamed.
