The organisation will also host her memorial service.

The parade starts at 3pm in Ngwelwana Street and ends at the Emmanuel Church of Christ in NU11.

The memorial service will be held at the church.

Health department spokesperson Yonela Dekeda said a preliminary report indicated that Vena was attended to at the clinic and was found to be clinically stable..

Dekeda said Zenizole was then referred to the police.

Police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu said that at about 6.40am Ntantiso had found Zenizole on the street and the teenager appeared to be sick and was crying.

Naidu said it was alleged that she was raped by two men known to her.
