Two hours later Nomonde became sick and was taken to Natalspruit Hospital in Katlehong where she died.The grieving girl's mother Sandra Mafika wept as she told told Daily Sun her daughter had told her about the bully.

"She showed no remorse," said Sandra.The heartbroken mother said she sent people to talk to girl's family but they didn't bother to come and see her."I felt bad because as parents they should have come to talk to me. There is nothing I can do."Their daughter is out of the hospital and still alive, while I have to live with my daughter's tragic death," said the mum.
Sandra described her daughter as sweet and caring. "She lived with my parents and looked after my father, who has an eye problem."Lethulwazi Secondary School headmaster Jerry Maphosa, told the Daily Sun that the girl had been 'a pupil with great potential."
He had still seen both girls after school that day and was surprised when he heard of the tragedy: "I spoke to them and they were laughing." I was surprised when I heard what had happened.
"I told Nomonde's mother the matter should be reported to cops," said Maphosa. Sandra said they will open a case at Vosloorus Police Station today.
