She says she hasn't opened a case because she doesn't think it will help.

"I am still in shock and the community is also in shock. 

"When I woke up to check on the chickens, I found all of them dead and they left me with only 10 live chicken which were left with stab wounds. 

"I suspect this happened during the early hours of the morning," says Ngubane. 

Ngubane says she'll start raising chickens from scratch.

Some South Africans have offered to help her start afresh.
