The Toyota Condor she was driving belongs to well known local businessman and friend of the Manona family, Victor Monaheng.
Monaheng told Grocott’s Mail he had lent the car to Lungelwa so she could carry out preparations for her father's memorial service and funeral.

His funeral was held on Saturday 19 October at Ncumisa Khondlo Centre in Peddie.
