A neighbour to the Setwaba’s, Charlotte Radise, explained to Review that as a committee member of a local community group, she had shared the information regarding Thlolo on a Whatsapp group.
“On Sunday evening, I received a call from a woman in Zone 8 who asked me to quickly come to her house to help her with something. At first I was sceptical about it, considering the many bad things we hear about criminal activities happening to women, especially a night, but after she begged me I went and then that’s when we saw Thlolo. We then alerted the police and the family and they came to fetch her. She is okay and unharmed, however she is not emotionally okay,” said Charlotte.
