17-yr-old pregnant girl stoned to death by man responsible in SA

A 17-year-old pregnant South African girl, Nomfusi Dlekedla, has been brutally stoned to death by the man who put her in the family way because she refused to abort the pregnancy, reports Daily Sun.

According to her 65-year-old devastated father, Nikiwe, Nomfusi who was six-months pregnant, was stoned to death in Palm Ridge on Friday night by her boyfriend.


Nikiwe, from Greenfields in Ekurhuleni told the Daily Sun:

“When we went to his place on Saturday morning, the house was filled with bricks, the furniture was lying all over the place and my daughter’s face was smashed.

He was abusive man. He would call her and she would disappear for days. It seemed like she was scared of him but she never told me the relationship was abusive. I heard it from her friends.”

Nikiwe said he was told his daughter and the boyfriend were on their way home when he started assaulting Nomfusi.

He added that he told his daughter to dump the boyfriend several times but she didn’t listen.

“Her siblings are devastated. When they heard the news some of them even fainted,” he said.
