Sylvester Machate, 28 who couldn't accept that his girlfriend had dumped him went on to rape and kill her sister.
He then went on to kill himself.
The girlfriend, Angel Malele, 24, refused because he had never told her he was a married man.
On Tuesday afternoon, he was seen dragging a crying Prisca Mogane, 17, Angel's sister, through the streets.
People immediately told her family, including Angel, but they were too late to help.
Sylvester took her to the bushes, where he raped her and then shot her.
A family member, who did not want to be named, told Daily Sun they immediately rushed to the cops to report the matter.
"The police tried to look for him, but he was nowhere to be found," said the relative.
"We began to fear the worst, because we knew he was angry."
On Wednesday morning two gun shots rang out at his house where he shot himself in the kitchen, in front of his terrified wife.
Cops had just arrived at the scene when they received another call.
Prisca's body had been found next to the business centre at Mandela Village, about a kilometre from her home.
"Why couldn't he find it in his heart to let the girl live?" said the relative.
"We will never know what was going on in his mind. He has left our family and his own with many unanswered questions."
Lieutenant Ndlovukazi Mashele of Bushbuckridge police said: "I would like to advise people to seek help if they have problems."
