A third-year student at the Tshwane University of Technology, identified as Ntokozo Mayenzi Xaba, was allegedly stabbed to death by her boyfriend.

The 20-year-old was allegedly stabbed to death by Ngcebo Thusi at his student residence in Ekhaya Junction, Pretoria on February 2, 2023.

Ntokozo Mayenzi Xaba’s friends informed security at her halls of residence when they couldn’t reach her phone.

When security agents arrived at Ntokozo Mayenzi Xaba’s home, they found her dead with multiple stab wounds on her torso.

The South African Police Service (SAPS) was alerted and a male suspect was arrested for murder following further investigation.

The suspect is believed to be Ntokozo Mayenzi Xaba’s boyfriend as he was the last person she was seen with before her death.

The Police spokesman, Colonel Dimakatso Sello, said the deceased was drinking with friends including her boyfriend on Wednesday and the friends left the two together that evening.

“The following morning, the victim was found dead with stab wounds on the neck. The ex-boyfriend has been taken in for questioning by the police. Investigations continue,” said Sello.
