Tuesday, September 30, 2025 - A 13-year-old girl, Zukhanye Nkabeni,
13, has d!ed after she was brutally attacked and beaten by her friend's mother
and two other women in South Africa.
Advocacy group, Women For Change said the incident occurred
while Zukhanye was visiting the friend’s house in Harare, Khayelitsha, on 26
September 2025.
Police confirmed that after she arrived at her friend’s
house, the mother and two other women allegedly started attacking her.
The women allegedly beat Zukhanye on the head with planks,
leaving her with a severe head injury.
After the assault, Zukhanye’s mother was alerted and told to
fetch her daughter.
Once Zukhanye and her mother were on the way to a police
station, Zukhanye suffered a seizure, and her mother rushed her to Khayelitsha
District Hospital instead.
Doctors did everything they could, but tragically, she
succumbed to her injuries.
Before passing away, Zukhanye was able to give a statement
about what had happened.
No arrests have been made yet as the police are still waiting for
the forensic report.
“We are heartbroken by the loss of yet another beautiful soul. How many more lives must be taken before GBV and Femicide are finally declared a National Disaster? Honour her memory by adding your signature,” the group stated.
