That’s when we turned our car to this homestead, we found that a woman who is maybe in the mid-40s has been brutally killed, she was shot and killed.
Nyembzi adds: “Her lifeless body was lying on the ground, we don’t know what happened, but villagers now are gathering here. This place is not far from where Mama Nogcinile was brutally killed, allegedly by unknown assailants.”The Department of Social Development in the Eastern Cape says additional social workers and Thuthuzela Health Care Centre officials have been deployed to the Mqhekezweni area.
