UMhlanga call-centre worker, Anele Mzila, 23, from uMgababa, whose decomposed body was found under the bed of her boyfriend in a rented property in KwaMashu last week.

A devastated south coast family in uMgababa are demanding justice after the badly decomposed body of a 23-year-old woman was discovered hidden under the bed of her boyfriend and colleague.

Anele Mzila, who worked at a call centre in uMhlanga, north of Durban, was found dead last week at a rental property in KwaMashu where her boyfriend, Nkululeko Yuda, 35, resided.

Yuda, an eSwatini national, has since been arrested and has made his first appearance in the Ntuzuma Magistrates Court.

A close friend of Mzila, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the couple worked together at the same call centre, adding that Yuda is the only one who knows the truth about what transpired.
