 Her uncle, Philip Bulawa who has not yet recovered from shock suspects that she was murdered. "Whoever came into the house just wanted to kill, because nothing was stolen," he said. Ndlangamandla had stab-wound in the neck. Bulawa described her as a child who was extremely disciplined, open and very honest. "It is sad that such an honest person could die the way she did," he said. He asserted that the death is an indication that women are slaves who cannot express their views freely. "Our society is sick and I am more worried about women who are still alive because you will never know what will happen to them," he said. He added that people no longer value life. Bulawa said the preparations for the funeral are still underway. Superintendent Ringo Batshabeng of Urban police station said they are still investigating the case and no one has been arrested in connection with the murder. He said the deceased was stabbed with a knife on her neck and her cell phone is missing. Ndlangamandla would be remembered for her stern principles and passion for beauty pageants. She made headlines when she refused to pose in a bikini for a local newspaper. This is despite reports that the paper had an arrangement with pageant organisers for such pictures. At that time, she reasoned that participation in a beauty pageant did not entail taking one's right to choose. She told young girls and women to know their rights and seek help from organisations like Ditshwanelo and Emang Basadi to avoid being exploited.
