Her grieving family is demanding justice, fearing the man who stole her life might walk free.
The horrifying incident happened on the night of 26 October in Lothair, Mpumalanga.
According to the family, the drama started when the boyfriend set up a three-way conference call with Bonisile and a man he suspected she was secretly seeing.
Unknown to him, a clever Bonisile hit record button on her phone.
On the recording, the enraged boyfriend could be heard threatening to kill the other man, while a terrified Bonisile begs and tries to explain that nothing was going on between them.
Tragically, the man allegedly turned his rage on Bonisile after the heated call, mercilessly beating her until she stopped breathing.
Realising the horror of what he had done, the man panicked and allegedly called his brother-in-law, claiming he assaulted Bonisile and that she was in hospital.
Her heartbroken sister, Thembelihle said Bonisile was in such a critical state that she had to be transferred to another hospital in Nelspruit, where she sadly succumbed to her injuries.

Thembelihle revealed that when the family confronted the lover, he started spinning a web of lies.
“He started changing the story, saying Bonisile had a fight with her ex-girlfriend. Then, he changed it again and claimed they were attacked by unknown people.
“He was changing stories from one to another forgetting he called my husband,” said the sister.
Sharp relatives managed to retrieve the deleted audio recording from Bonisile’s phone, and the chilling recording exposed his lies.
The man appeared in the Ermelo Magistrates Court on Monday, 9 November, for a bail application.
The heartbroken family now seeks justice.
“We fear the case might be swept under the carpet,” the family said.
They begged the law to throw away the key.
Mpumalanga police spokesman Brigadier Donald Mdlhuli confirmed that a murder case was opened.
