Sonti Lurayi opens up about the moments that led to discovering Busisiwe’s body.
Sonti Lurayi, who was a mother to Busisiwe, has opened up about her passing, calling it “unfair.” She took on the role of the actress’ mom after her biological mother passed on.
During Busisiwe’s funeral held on Wednesday at Redemption Church, Greenstone, Sonti shared the details of the moments before she was discovered. She said,
“On July 10, when I called Busi her phone rang unanswered. It was very uncharacteristic of her, not only to not answer a call but to have her phone on silent for a longer period. You heard Busi loved having long conversations and the best way to have constant conversation with us was through the phone.”
she continued, “I got a sense that I truly cannot explain to drive to her house and I acted like a lunatic aunt when I started hooting like a taxi driver, and I didn’t stop until I called Freddie to ask him when last he spoke to Busi. I asked where Ayana was and he said she was with him. Part of me relaxed when he said that because if Ayana was fine, therefore in my mind I was convinced Busi was safe too.”
“An instinct kicked in Freddie to drive through. Rhis man jumped a wall to get to his daughter. He jumped over the wall, got his spare keys and opened the house.”
That was when Busisiwe’s body was found.
