Nqobile Tshili Chronicle Reporter
THE 10-year-old girl from Emganwini suburb in Bulawayo who was found hanging on Tuesday, will be buried at a city cemetery today.
The girl received a rousing send off from scores of residents who marched and sang alongside the hearse carrying her body as it went to her home yesterday.

Zwivhuya Buhle Mulaudzi was found hanging at her family’s home on Tuesday afternoon.

Her mother, Sibusisiwe Mulaudzi, yesterday confirmed her daughter would be buried today but did not give further details. Mulaudzi said Buhle’s father was still finalising the burial arrangements and she did not have all the information regarding the burial.

Results of the post mortem were also not available as Buhle’s father, who was said to have them, was not at home.

Pathfinders, a group of children belonging to the Seventh Day Adventist church, gave an emotional  send off to one of their own as they marched in front of the hearse.

As Buhle’s body arrived at her home where it will lie in state, the pathfinders saluted and broke into song.

Her parents on Tuesday told Chronicle they suspected foul play in her death as the tree she was found hanging from was shorter than her.
