A fifteen-year-old Delft schoolgirl was beaten to death with an electric cord, allegedly by a relative angry that she had stayed away from school.
Ncebakazi Poleki, a Grade 8 pupil at Leiden High School, who would have turned 16 two days before her ultimate death became another casualty in South African's shocking child murder statistics.
Horrified neighbours and friends claimed the man constantly beat Ncebakazi.
Teachers at her school as well her friends say that she was a good child who always had a smile on her face.
They say with the smile always on her face, they thought nothing of the bruises she sometimes had on her arms, or the scar left on her pretty face.
The man suspected of the murder was arrested and charged with murder.
He will appear in the Bellville Magistrate Court on Monday.
