Thobile Mabuza died on the scene.<\/p>\n
Just moments later the ex-boyfriend, identified as Sharon Tumelo Mampuru, was arrested and charged with the murder. He appeared in court on Thursday.<\/p>\n
According to Thobile’s mother, Thembi Dlamini, her daughter was no longer together with the man and had broken up with him a few months ago.<\/p>\n
“He was really angry,” Thembi said.<\/p>\n
The suspect crept up to the woman whilst she was taking down washing from lines outside the house. According to reports, he pounced on her unsuspectingly and unleashed a tirade of blows with a knife in his hand.<\/p>\n
Thembi was too emotional to speak about her daughter and said that she hoped that justice would serve its course.<\/p>\n
The exact circumstances which led to the stabbing remain unclear and police are in the process of obtaining statements from eyewitnesses and those who know the suspect.<\/p>\n
The case against Sharon Tumelo Mampuru was postponed to a later date and he remains in police custody.<\/p>\n
Funeral arrangements were yet to be confirmed at the time of going to print but are expected to take place in Ermelo over the weekend.<\/p>\n
