Police minister Bheki Cele said that someone, in his opinion, "went crazy" in the fatal shooting of Mthokozisi Ntumba. 

Cele earlier this week visited Ntumba's distraught family at their home in Kempton Park.

Cele was accompanied by provincial police commissioner Lt-Gen Elias Mawela and investigators from the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid).

Ntumba died on Wednesday when the police fired rubber bullets at protesting Wits University students. The office of the MMC for human settlements in Tshwane said in a statement that he was shot after visiting a doctor.
