Family Of Domestic Worker Killed For R6mn Insurance Payout Got R500 From Possible Murderer
The family of a domestic worker, Busiswa Nxumalo, is reeling from a tragic and shocking betrayal. Allegedly murdered for a R6 million insurance payout, the family received a mere R500 from the accused, further compounding their grief and outrage.
Nurse Sithembile Xulu and her gardener, Simon Mogale, stand accused of the heinous crime.
According to allegations, in January 2022, the duo slit Busiswa’s throat and discarded her body at a dumping site in Lenasia. This gruesome act shocked the community and left the Nxumalo family devastated.
The family of Busiswa Nxumalo was present in court on Tuesday, sitting directly behind the accused.
Despite the gravity of the situation, Xulu allegedly contributed only R500 to the family’s travel expenses for the funeral. The court proceedings were postponed after the defence lawyer fell ill, adding to the family’s long wait for justice.
Adding another layer to the tragedy, it was revealed that Xulu had taken out three life insurance policies on Busiswa, totalling R6 million. The family was unaware of these policies until after the murder, further deepening their mistrust and sorrow.
Busiswa’s uncle, Njabulo Nxumalo, expressed the family’s shock and disbelief upon learning about the insurance coverage and Xulu’s involvement in the crime.
