Daveyton, South Africa: Friends and family of a Mozambican man who died in custody after being dragged behind a South African police van will hold a memorial service for him on Wednesday.
Mourners are expected to gather at the sports stadium in Daveyton, the town east of Johannesburg where 27-year-old Mido Macia died on Tuesday last week.
The Mozambican taxi driver was filmed being manhandled, handcuffed to the back of a police van and dragged hundreds of metres to a local police station.
A post-mortem found he died from head injuries and internal bleeding.
The bail hearing for the eight police officers charged with his murder will start Friday.
Mozambique's ambassador Fernando Fazenda will also attend.
He will be buried outside the capital Maputo on Saturday, according to Mozambican media.
