Just two days before the launch of the international 16 Days of No Violence against Women and Children campaign, as well as a number of campaigns by both civil rights organisations and the government, with women’s and men’s groups condemning all kinds of violence directed at women and children, another woman died a tragic death in front of her sister.
A 56-year-old suspect from Tshepisong West (Ebumnandini) handed himself over to police after he allegedly killed a woman on Saturday, 23 November. According to witnesses, the woman, her sister and a neighbour were inside a minibus taxi parked next to a gate when the man arrived. He walked to the woman, drew a firearm and started shooting randomly at her.

She sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body, and paramedics certified her dead on the scene. Kagiso Police are investigating the motive for the killing.
The suspect, who is the uncle of the deceased, is being detained at Kagiso Police Station and is facing charges of murder. He is expected to appear in court briefly today, 26 November.
The Kagiso Police station commander, Brigadier Themba Maduna condemned the extreme brutality directed at the deceased in the strongest terms. “Such men do not deserve to be in our societies. They are a shame to mankind,” the angry station commander concluded.
