Yesterday, the Cape Times visited the Mbeshu family, who were packing up their relatives’ belongings under the protection of a police escort, as they planned to move out of the area.
Nomazwi Mbeshu, victim Nandipha Mbeshu’s sister, described the situation as heartbreaking and devastating. “After work I usually visit her, but on the day of the incident, I did not feel like it. She called that night to check up on me, like she usually does. Police spokesperson Novela Potelwa said: “Samora Machel detectives are investigating a double murder and attempted murders after two women were fatally wounded at a residence in Samora Machel at about 8pm on Saturday.
