‘Senzeni nah?’ that is the song that the family, friends and community members in Meadowlands Zone 3 sang as they honor the late Tshegofatso Pule during a candle light service, Soweto Urban reports.
Despite the fact that no gatherings are allowed due to the Global pandemic coronavirus where in South Africa memorial services are prohibited, more than 50 people gathered at KOL Cafe to pay their last respect to friend, neighbor and daughter. Pink, black and white was the theme of the day.
Attendees of the ceremony could not hold their tears back as the speakers who were given time to say something about the late, gave testimonies on how they knew Pule and how they were waiting to hold and meet her bundle of joy who was never given a chance to see the world.
Candles were lit to honour the spirits and the lives of the deceased and her angel. A moment of silence was held and then the attendees walked to Pule’s home holding their lit candles.
Keneilwe Molefenyane and Gontse Mosopa were never ready to bid farewell to their childhood friend. Masopa’s poem to her friend and Molefenyane speech gave an insight of what kind of a person was Pule.

Pule’s aunt Neo Giwu said the very same hands that comforts young women are the very same hands that kill them.
Giwu extended her gratitude to the country at large for their undying support, words of comfort and for sympathising with them.
She urged people to stop spreading rumors and things that they are not sure of on social media platforms.

Pule was found hanging in a tree in Durban Deep, Roodepoort on Monday June 8. She was 8 months pregnant when her life and the life of her unborn baby were cut short.
The question of when will Fermicide end? still lingers in the minds of the mourning community, as they wish and pray for justice to prevail for Pule. #JusticeForTshego
