  1. It is very sad to see what’s happening in this world. I am sure she black woman that was murdered was one of the many prostitutes walking along Kingsway every day.

    This is noticeable from Winkelspruit up and passed Toti CBD. Maybe other prostitutes would be able to identify the victim.

    Toti became a prostitute and drug (whoonga)little town. Its a pity that nothing is done to stop this.
