The Chief Albert Luthuli school pupil was shot and killed while walking with a friend.
A 17 year old schoolgirl was shot and killed on her way home yesterday (April 20) at Ntshawini while walking with a friend.
The grade 8 pupil, Rethabile Mashile, was found with a single gunshot wound by IPSS Medical Rescue medics, who declared her dead at the scene.
It is understood that an unidentified male had approached the two girls from behind when he pulled out a firearm and shot Mashile.
“She had sustained a single, fatal, gunshot wound. Sadly, there was nothing that medics could do,” said IPSS Medical Rescue’s Samantha Meyrick.
