Gathering a few meters from where the deceased’s body was found, residents united in their call for swift justice in Nokwa’s murder.
A prayer service was held where religious and political leaders remembered a bright young woman whose life was senselessly snuffed out.
Emotions ran high as tributes were made.
The residents, carrying placards condemning gender-based violence and Nokwa’s murder, then marched through the streets of Wembezi before they returned to the Nokwa’s home to continue the prayer service.
