Mohalaba says the manner in which Ngwenya died is difficult to accept. 


"I think moreover it's how she died, it's more traumatic to her children. It makes things difficult for them and some of us as family members." 


Thuli Ngwenya taught at Lekoko Primary School and has been described by the family as a God-fearing woman.


Mohalaba says the family would like those responsible must be brought to book. 


"We want to see justice and as a family we continue to pray. Our view is that police must find these perpetrators because today it's her and tomorrow it could be somebody else." 


Ngwenya was last seen on Saturday when she went to one of the banks in Mahikeng.


It is alleged that her blue Mazda CX3 was found parked near a taxi rank in town.
