Ndlovu said a 65-year-old man from Makokoba discovered the victim while walking through the area at around 8am.

“She had deep cuts on the right side of her head, her forehead and the back of her head, as well as a swollen right eye.”
He said the woman’s undergarments and black trousers were found beside her.
