THEY DIED IN FRONT OF ME
A WHITE tent has been erected outside the family home ahead of the mass funeral. Inside, the lounge is deserted because all the women are in a bedroom praying for Ntswaki Khoabane.
But it’s little comfort for the grieving mother sitting on the mattress – she’s overcome with emotion and buries her head in her hands.
Ntswaki’s life has been torn apart after three of her five sons died, allegedly at the hands of her husband.
Veli Ngcongwane, the boys’ father, allegedly poisoned Lehlohonolo and Katleho Khoabane and Teboho Ngcongwane while they were preparing for school. Their brother, Neo Khoabane (11), was fighting for his life at the time
