Dineo Makua (17) and Renilwe Moyo (17), both from Mhluzi, died on the spot when the car they were travelling in, a white Polo, collided with another vehicle alleged to have been speeding.<\/p>\n

The white Polo was carrying five passengers at the time and crashed into a house. A third occupant of the vehicle, Dimpho Nkadimeng, sustained serious injuries and remains in hospital.<\/p>\n

Thulane Nhlapo, a family spokesperson, said that Dineo and Dimpho were schooling in Benoni and Renilwe in Middelburg.<\/p>\n

They were always together and inseparable. Renilwe travelled to Benoni to support Dimpho at a matric farewell function which took place on Friday night.<\/p>\n

“They were three best friends and very excited about supporting each other at the matric farewell function. They had beautiful personalities,” said Nhlapo.<\/p>\n

At the time of the accident, which occurred at about 13:00 on Saturday afternoon, the girls were going to the taxi rank as Renilwe was returning home.<\/p>\n

Dineo Makua is the youngest child and only daughter of well known owner of the security company Fofo Security, Foto Boy Makua, more commonly known as Fofo.<\/p>\n

Renilwe is Dineo’s cousin and Foto’s niece Dineo and Dimpho attended Benoni Edu College and Renilwe was a learner at Hillside Private School in Middelburg.<\/p>\n
