The families of Ndlovu's victims say that she does not seem to be sorry for what she did and that she deserves a severe sentence for the murders and fraud she committed. These family members have become secondary victims due to the trauma and hurt they have experienced following the murders.

“While she was in court you could by the look of her eyes that she is evil, no remorse at all. There is nothing that is more important than a family,… my brother is very important so if you don’t care about your family so what about the society, no mercy, harsh sentence,” one secondary victim said.
