The deceaseda��s mother Sweetness Dube said her daughter left a suicide note.
a�?Ia��m devastated and at a loss for words as to why Busisiwe could do such a horrendous thing. I really wish she could have told me what was troubling her and together we would have found a solution.
She left a suicide note saying she was fed up with being reprimanded,a�? she said.
When Sweetness got home from work, she found her daughter in pain as the rat poison had started working on her.
Sweetness said her daughter was doing Grade Nine and was a respectful child.
a�?She was a courteous and humble child whom I did not have any problem with. To show my love for her I had bought her a birthday cake and presents but she decided to take her life on her birthday,a�? said the heart-broken mother.
A fellow band mate Sithembiseni Sibanda aka Gospel Diva said the group had lost its most talented soul.
