Slain Nothabo Tshuma, daughters laid to rest in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwean national Nothabo Tshuma and her two daughters, Natalie and Nala, who were murdered in Britain last month, were laid to rest in Bulawayo on Tuesday.
Their bodies were found in their home in Bedfordshire, England.
A post-mortem found they died from blunt force trauma.
Tshuma’s husband, Ndodana, was later arrested in Johannesburg after authorities from the United Kingdom sought his extradition.
The deceased’s friends and family gathered in a sombre service, decorated with pink banners bearing their images.
Three white coffins, all with golden handles, stood at the foot of the stage where speakers took to the podium to pay their last respects.
Tshuma and her daughters have been buried side by side at the Old Luveve Cemetery.
ALLEGED KILLER HUSBAND IN SA COURT
He is expected back in the Johannesburg Magistrates Court on 27 August.
The 45-year-old previously appeared in court on two separate matters, including firearm-related charges.

Although he initially entered South Africa legally through OR Tambo International Airport in July, Tshuma’s immigration status has subsequently changed due to his status as a fugitive.
In terms of the Immigration Act, he is regarded as both a prohibited and undesirable person and is therefore considered in the country unlawfully.
He was arrested in Kensington after the police, through INTERPOL National Central Bureau in Pretoria, received a request from the UK authorities to arrest him after the Westminster Magistrates’ Court issued a warrant for his arrest.
According to the extradition request, Tshuma is wanted in the UK on three counts of murder.
The accused waived his right to bail and was remanded in custody until the next hearing.
