In a statement, KZN Health MEC Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo said, “It was a cruel end to the life of a dedicated public servant, who has been described by her colleagues as “reliable, friendly, hard-working and straight- forward.”
She is survived by an 18-year-old son and four-year-old daughter.
A case of murder and an inquest docket have been opened for investigation by Port Shepstone police.
