Nomfusi Dlekedla,17 was allegedly stoned to
death by her boyfriend in Palm Ridge, SA, on
Friday, March 11. Her heartbroken father,
Nikiwe Dlekedia, 65, from Greenfields in
Ekurhuleni told Daily Sun SA that his daughter
was six months pregnant.
"When we went to his place on Saturday
morning, the house was filled with bricks, the
furniture was lying all over the place and my
daughter’s face was smashed," said Nikiwe who is
devastated over the brutal murder of his
daughter.
He said he was told his daughter and the
boyfriend were on their way home when he
started assaulting Nomfusi. Neighbours said he
was abusive and jealous. Nikiwe said he tried to
get his daughter to dump the boyfriend several
times but she didn’t listen.
"He would call her and she would disappear for
days. It seemed like she was scared of him but
she never told me the. The relationship was
abusive. I heard it from her friends," he said.
The sad father said he was still expecting a lot
from his daughter because she was very young.
"Her siblings are devastated. When they heard
the news some of them even fainted," he said.
Sergeant Rufus Tema who confirmed the incident
said a case of murder has been opened. "No
arrests have been made and we are continuing
with the investigations" he said.
