Photo: Cindy Waxa<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Cape Town &#8211; A pregnant matric pupil has died after being stabbed in the stomach and chest, allegedly by someone known to her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Ncebakazi Bili, 20, from Samora Machel, Philippi, was eight months pregnant and had just completed her final matric exams. She was planning to study electrical engineering at UCT next year, but her life was cut tragically short at the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">The 20-year-old suspect is believed to have stabbed her in an apparent jealous rage. He was drinking with friends at Bili\u2019s house before the incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">The stabbing happened late on Saturday and came just two days before the end of the 16 Days of Activism for No violence Against Women and Children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Bili\u2019s cousin, Nomava Mbengu, said the family \u2013 especially Bili\u2019s father \u2013 was distraught. She said the family had lost its breadwinner and a hard worker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Mbengu said the family was drinking and \u201cchilling\u201d while Bili was sitting on the steps outside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">The suspect, who was known to her, was also there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Mbengu said the suspect, who lives next door, left for a while and when he came back he allegedly stabbed her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Mbengu said they didn\u2019t hear Bili\u2019s screams because of the loud music, but another man apparently threw the suspect out when he realised what had happened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">\u201cHer brother and some of the other guys hit him and he was sent to hospital, the residents were furious and also wanted to hit him but our family stopped them,\u201d Mbengu said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">She explained that the suspect\u2019s family took him to hospital and left Bili, who had collapsed, lying outside her home in Samora Machel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">\u201cHis family has a car and they took him to hospital and left her lying here in the yard, she died before getting to the hospital. By the time we got there they said there was nothing they could do,\u201d Mbengu said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Another family member, Siphokazi Billy, said that if the suspect\u2019s family had taken her to the hospital in time she might have survived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">\u201cIf his family took her first she would have been here now, but they just didn\u2019t care,\u201d Billy said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">The family said that Bili was stabbed five times in the stomach and chest and died right in front of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Her younger sister, Nandipha, relied a lot on her sister and didn\u2019t take the news well as her older sister was more like a mother to her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">\u201cShe took care of us and did people\u2019s hair so we could have food on the table,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Nandipha said their mother died in 2010 and her father, who stayed in Nyanga and checked on them regularly, was distraught by the news.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Andre Traut confirmed the stabbing and said the incident was being investigated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">\u201cI can confirm that a 20-year-old female was stabbed to death after a domestic dispute and the suspect is yet to be arrested,\u201d Traut said. He added that they could not confirm the injuries sustained by the victim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">The funeral will be held in Bili\u2019s hometown of Mthatha in the Eastern Cape. The family said they would be leaving on Friday to attend the funeral on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">yolisa.tswanya@inl.co.za<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\"><strong>Cape Argus<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Continue Reading:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.iol.co.za\/pregnant-matric-pupil-stabbed-to-death-1.1437997\" title=\"Pregnant matric pupil stabbed to death\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pregnant matric pupil stabbed to death<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAPE ARGUS Ncebakazi Bili has died after being stabbed in the stomach and chest, allegedly by someone known to her.
