After a thorough investigation, the police found that Dubazane and Ndaba were colleagues, and she was eyeing Ndaba's job because she was expected to go on maternity leave soon.

They worked as teachers in Amangwe. Police spokesperson Constable Thenjiswa Ngcobo stated that Dubazane believed murdering Ndbaba would grant her a permanent job position.

Dubazane reportedly poisoned Ndaba's lunch which made her feel woozy. She then took the deceased to Myia's house, where she was strangled. The three culprits moved her body and car to a forest and set the vehicle on fire.

IOL reports that Ngubane was sentenced in October 2020 and received life imprisonment for his involvement in the brutal murder. Ngubane was arrested in Thembisa, Gauteng, where he was hiding out.

At the time of the arrests, the deceased's sister told Daily News she was shocked that a colleague murdered her sister.

Xolile said what surprised her the most was that the teacher who masterminded her sister's murder was a woman.

“She worked with her, and she knew she was pregnant. She knew she had little power to fight back. We had thought a man would have been arrested and that maybe they had tried to hijack my sister – we never thought it would be a woman she knew,” said Xolile.
