 Her aunt, Lucy Dimba says the family is still in shock.

 "We are happy that there has been an arrest. We are still not understanding why will a man first, punch a woman and after that stab a woman twice. It's just hard to understand that. What kind of a man does such things?" Dimba questioned. 

 While the motive for Ndlovu's murder isn't known, it’s understood the business administration student was stabbed because she refused the suspect's advances:

 "The mother is just beyond, I can't even explain how she is now and the family. [Sinethemba] was a very friendly person, always smiling, down to earth person, who had a very bright future. I think that’s what made the guy that killed her very angry, because she spoke her mind,” she said.
