Sibongile Mali was initially saved from death by her brother after she was found hanging by the neck on an electric cable before she eventually succumbed to the injuries. 

Impeccable sources revealed that she was facing pressure also from her fellow students who were threatening her with death,adding that the money also belonged to them as students.

“She was initially saved as she tried to commit suicide but during the attempt, she sustained serious brain damage so it was going be a miracle if she had survived.
