Khanyisile Shabane’s statement was entered into evidence by the state in the high court sitting in Middelburg on Wednesday during the mitigation and aggravation of sentence proceedings of the three men who were earlier found guilty of killing Gabisile and Khanyisile's 15-month-old nephew, Nkosikhona Ngwenya.

In her statement, Gabisile’s twin sister, Khanyisile, who does not have albinism, said the two were best friends who did everything together. They were excited about starting high school together. She explained how the murders had been hardest for their mother, Anna Shabane, who, according to Khanyisile, had to learn to live without Gabisile but also be strong for the rest of the family. She struggled to eat and sleep — something that broke her heart to see.Khanyisile Shabane
