TSOMO-A devastating incident has shaken the community of Tsomo where 13-year-old Anga Ndema was found murdered after being robbed, raped and brutally attacked with bricks. The gruesome discovery was made after she left Ndema Senior Secondary School on Friday 20 June 2025.
A team, including the Mayor of Intsika Yethu LM, Cllr Mdlelene, Ward 6 Councillor, Chief Ngcongolo and representatives from Social Development, arrived at the scene to a crowd of panicked residents. The District Director of Chris Hani East, Mr. Mnqanqeni, along with inspectors, school teachers and the School Governing Body (SGB), also responded to the scene.
The leader of Khula Community Development Project Petros Majola said, “The community is raising concerns about the safety of learners, particularly given the long distance children travel to school on foot – 12km round trip – without adequate scholar transport.”
Additionally, the investigation is ongoing with authorities working to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The community is in shock and the incident has highlighted the need for improved safety measures and support for children in the area.
