The young girl is estimated to be aged 13 and the woman is thought to be in her late 30s. They were allegedly assaulted, burnt and strangled to death and then dumped near a river in KwaDabeka.
A shocked resident, who asked not to be named, said seeing this made her scared to even leave the house.
“I don’t feel safe anymore. What kind of person does this to a woman and a child? I’m scared to even leave the house with my daughter because we too could be killed. Nobody deserves to be killed in such a brutal manner,” she said.
Another resident said the way women and children are being killed recently is shocking.
“It looks like there are people who have anger towards women and children so they are targeting them. We are all scared now as we sit and wonder who is next,” she said.
