The Polo family is reeling with grief and trauma after their daughter Nomthandazo’s body was found mutilated in her house in Geluksdal, Ekurhuleni, on Sunday night. After allegedly killing her.
Her long-term boyfriend, Kagiso Thobela, called his friends and family, apparently admitting that he killed her and was going to commit suicide. Her body parts were dismembered with an angle grinder. Nomthandazo’s mother, Senzeni Ngoma, said she is haunted by the images of her daughter’s body lying in a pool of her own blood. “It is going to take years for me to forget the gruesome scene,” she said. It is alleged that Nomthandazo had been trapped in the abusive relationship for years, and when she found out that Kagiso had made another woman pregnant with twins, she decided to end the relationship.
