GONE TOO SOON: Gcina Dhladhla

After receiving a call that her niece was lying lifeless in a toilet cubicle at work, Nomusa Dhladhla said she dropped everything she was doing and immediately called a private ambulance.

Twenty-nine-year-old Gcina Dhladhla had collapsed after allegedly telling her manager she was feeling ill.

Despite the emergency response, she could not be resuscitated and was declared dead at the Cartrack offices, in Rosebank, on Saturday.

The family said they were now desperately trying to understand what had happened in the hours leading up to her death and believed it may have been prevented.
