Family hails ‘justice’ for slain Ladysmith teacher
The family of a pregnant teacher murdered by her colleague near
Ladysmith says that justice has finally been served.
Hlengiwe Ndaba was eight-months pregnant when her burnt remains were found in Winterton three years ago.
She'd been fed poison and was strangled.
Nokubonga Dubazane was handed a life sentence this week for hiring two hitmen.
Detectives say she wanted Ndaba's job and believed that she would secure permanent employment by killing her.

Ndaba's family representative, who didn't want to be named, says they're a step closer to finding peace again.
"We are very happy with the court's decision. We are now able to get closure as a family, we appreciate the work done by the police, especially the investigator."
Dubazane's accomplices were also given hefty jail sentences in court.
