“We were speaking on WhatsApp during the day and she said she wanted to rest for a bit. I was shocked when I received a message a few hours later that she was killed.”

Nhlapo’s grandmother, Susan Rantabane said she was bitterly upset at her granddaughter’s killing.

“Jabu had a bright future ahead of her. She was studying education through Unisa and was an intern at Emfuleni municipality. She didn’t deserve to be killed like this. She wanted to make something out of her life by teaching,”

Rantabane said.

Nhlapo’s friend, who asked not to be named, said it appeared the 21-year-old was gunned down by someone she knew.

“We heard that there was a guy who was lurking in the street where she lived. He eventually came across someone who knew Jabu and that person showed him where she stayed,” said the friend.

“The students who live in the commune with her said they didn’t hear the gunshot. They thought it was a pot’s lid falling on the floor and only realised when police knocked on their door about 30 minutes [later],”

said the student.
