According to police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbele, the two women were stabbed multiple times and sustained severe wounds. The alleged attacker is reportedly known to them.

“They were taken to hospital for medical attention where Hloniphile Hadebe, 42, later died due to injuries sustained, while a woman [in her late 60s] is still receiving medical attention.”
