The suspect has been arrested. Residents says 46-year-old Kgomotso Rose Mokwane is the latest victim in a series of rapes and murders committed against women in Mabeskraal.
“She was raped and killed here. We found her in a pool of blood, naked. The person who did this is not human. Why didn’t he just rape her then, instead of killing her? That’s what I asked myself. He stabbed her in the head. Her forehead. The stab wound that was just above the eye shocked me the most. That broke me the most. He didn’t have to kill her. Her children are now on their own.”
Police have confirmed that the perpetrator, who has been arrested, was on parole. He was convicted for murder thirteen years ago. “There have been murders taking place in our area. There’s nothing that has been done by the police by the courts. So we don’t know what to do anymore because if we take matters into our own hands, the police will arrest us.”A local Non-Profit Organisation has volunteered to teach women self-defence classes to survive GBV and femicide, hoping this will cases of violence on women and children, as explained by representative Christopher Koitsioe.

Report all the way to Sun City?...uhhhmmm why isn't the police station in Mabeskraal open yet? It has been built for a while now.
Why blame the police for crime when it is the justice system that sabotages them
