The family of Asemahle Hanisi, a student at West Coast College in Citrusdal, Western Cape, is mourning her tragic death after she was reportedly found dead following a college event.
According to information shared by her family, Asemahle was staying in student accommodation and had attended an event at the college before the incident. After the event, she reportedly planned to continue the evening with friends at a local tavern.
It is alleged that Asemahle became heavily intoxicated during the course of the evening. At some point, her friends reportedly noticed her standing with an older man whom they regarded as suspicious.
Concerned about her condition and safety, her friends allegedly attempted to take her with them. However, according to the account shared by the family, the man reportedly refused to allow them to leave with Asemahle and allegedly told them that they could not take her by force.
Asemahle was reportedly quiet at the time and appeared to be struggling to communicate. Her condition allegedly caused further concern among her friends, who are said to have continued trying to ensure that she was safe.
The situation reportedly escalated when the man allegedly became violent and assaulted Asemahle’s friends. The incident allegedly forced them to leave the area, with Asemahle remaining behind.
She was later reportedly found dead.
Her death has left her family, friends and fellow students devastated, while serious questions remain about what happened during the period between the time she was last seen with the man and when she was found.
The circumstances surrounding Asemahle’s death have not been fully established, and the allegations circulating about the events leading up to her death should be treated as unconfirmed until they are investigated by the relevant authorities.
Her family is now seeking answers and hoping that a thorough investigation will establish exactly what happened to the young student.
Authorities are expected to establish the circumstances surrounding her death, including the events leading up to the discovery of her body. Anyone who may have witnessed what happened or who has information that could assist the investigation is urged to share it with the police.
Asemahle’s death has also sparked calls for justice and renewed concern about the safety of young students, particularly when attending social events away from their residences.
As her loved ones come to terms with the devastating loss, tributes and messages of sympathy continue to be shared.
The family has been left to navigate an unimaginable loss while waiting for answers about the final moments of Asemahle’s life.
Our thoughts are with Asemahle Hanisi’s family, friends, classmates and everyone who knew and loved her during this difficult period.
