Fifty nine-year-old Nomazwi Ndleleni, who was among the 18 people, who were massacred at Ngobozana village in Lusikisiki, in the Eastern Cape, has been laid to rest.
The first funeral was held on Friday, and two others, including a mass funeral of 11 held yesterday.
Mlungisi Nziba, a family member, spoke about the deceased as the family's main provider, who worked hard to improve their challenging living conditions. She earned a living through a steel recycling business.
Currently, the family lives in a partially constructed home, which led the government to offer them temporary housing just before the funeral. Nziba noted that Mlungisi was the familys cornerstone.
"With her passing, there will be a significant change, as she fulfilled the roles of both mother and father. Everyone relied on her, and her absence has left a substantial gap. After the funeral, I hope the government can provide food parcels for the children, who depended on their mother for everything," says Nziba.
