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.
