The incident took place at a park in Eland Avenue, Lotus River, and according to a witness the mother was allegedly defending her seven-year-old son from a 17-year-old bully.

A neighbour, who doesn't want to be named, says: “We were told that she was first hit with a chain and later with a brick against her head. Her sister brought her from the park to my wendy house and she laid on my bed.

“We tried to keep her awake the whole time but we couldn't. I told my friend to help me put her inside the living room in her father's house because it is cooler inside than in my hok.

“When we brought her inside the house, she was already gone.
