KZN Premier Thami Ntuli has condemned her death as an act of criminal recklessness, saying it robbed a family of a mother and wife.
"The incidents are uncalled for. I am calling upon the police to trace the individual responsible and also for the Department of Safety to work with the police to ensure the viability of police and patrol on bridges where typically these crimes occur."
A case of culpable homicide is being investigated.
