Her aunt, Nkosingiphile Dlamini says she was at work when she got a frantic call from the boyfriend's family.
She says at first she thought her niece had fallen ill.
A distraught Dlamini says she asked Ngcobo's seven-year-old son where he slept the night before.
Police say there were visible signs of assault on the body. A case of murder has been opened and no arrests have been made.
Close friend and member of non-profit organisation Township Academy, Phumlani Ntetha says justice needs to prevail.
The NPO plans to hold a memorial service for Dlamini soon.
