ELUKWATINI – The phrase “Life is too short” is glued on the tongues of most mankind, however, it can’t be said enough to the residents of Elukwatini RDP houses at Julius Mkhondo Ave who were left in dismay following the death of a 19-year-old mother and her four-month-old baby.
It is alleged that she was preparing a meal on her two spiralled plate stove, while her baby was peacefully sleeping in the other corner of the shack she shares with her boyfriend who was not in at the moment when the accident happened.
It is suspected that an electric fault set the shack alight, burning both Nkosi and her child Minenhle.
Community members tried to put down the flames but failed. Both mother and baby were burnt beyond recognition. Their bodies were taken to the mortuary and an inquest had been opened.
Police are still investigating the matter.
On a similar matter, the community of Matsulu A are still shocked following the death and rape of a local businesswoman who was allegedly killed and raped by his attackers at her home near Dutch church last week.
The woman was found dead by her tenants who became suspicious of her where-about after not seeing her on her yard.
Police are still investigating the matter.
