Luyando Mhlongo's body was found in sugarcane fields a day after she'd been reported missing. She'd been raped, strangled and stabbed.
Mhlengi Mabuya of the Congress of South African Students says this can't go on.
"We can't be quiet while our members in that school don't arrive at school because of these hooligans who want to kidnap them, they don't arrive at school because they are scared to walk the miles and to even play around the community," he said.
