Her three younger siblings, Khwezi, Siphosethu and Kuhlekonke Mpungose were discovered by their mother on Tuesday afternoon, hanged inside their home.
On Tuesday afternoon, just before she was killed, Ayakha told her friends: “If anything happens, just know I was kidnapped ... Something has happened to me.”
The government is being called out on social media for not doing enough to ensure the safety of vulnerable members of society. Other social media users sent messages of support to the children's mother, Xolile Mpungose.
