According to a report by SA newspaper Sowetanlive, an 18 year old girl identified as Boitumelo Dlamini was taken by four girls into a car, driven to a bush where they poured petrol on her and burnt her to death.
One of the girls has been identified as the ex-girlfriend of the boy she's dating. Her charred body was found in the bush in Klipgat, North West, on Thursday June 25th.
Boitumelo's boyfriend's ex and three of her friends have been arrested for the crime and are facing murder charges and kidnapping.
Boitumelo , 18, a Grade 12 pupil at Elepsa Secondary School, became romantically involved with Tokelo Makalepho, 24, from her village, six months ago.
Boitumelo's sister, Nono Dlamini, 26, alleged Makalepho's former girlfriend was jealous and could not stand that Makalepho was dating Boitumelo.
"She constantly intimidated my sister and threatened her. My sister died because she was beautiful and doing matric", said Nono, speaking on behalf of her family.
