A Tanzanian refugee, who escaped death by hiding in a bathroom, is reeling after losing a second brother to alleged xenophobic violence in less than a year.

Zane Omari's younger brother, Said, died yesterday as a result of injuries he sustained when he was allegedly forced out of a sixth-floor window at Venture Africa, a shelter for refugees in Broad Street.

Zane's older brother, Ramadhani, died in Johannesburg in the xenophobic violence that swept the country last year.
