After Dhlomo was arrested but then released on bail Sne’s absolute nightmare began as he returned to their house. The Stokvel ladies came and chased Dhlomo out, protecting Sne even at work, but he caught her alone in their lunch room. Knowing that she could not escape from Dhlomo, Sne attempted to commit suicide by jumping from the hospital roof before Mbali stopped her.
