NIKIWE Dlekedla (65) is devastated by the brutal murder of his pregnant daughter.

Daily Sun reported that the 65-year-old madala from Greenfields in Ekurhuleni said his daughter, Nomfusi (17), was six months pregnant when she was stoned to death in Palm Ridge on Friday night, allegedly by her boyfriend.

"When we went to his place on Saturday morning, the house was filled with bricks, the furniture was lying all over the place and my daughter's face was smashed," said Nikiwe.

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

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.

Sergeant Rufus Tema said a case of murder has been opened. "No arrests have been made and we are continuing with the

investigations," he said.
