#SowetoMurders: Daughter’s disbelief at mother’s death tugs at heart strings

It’s like a cloud is hanging over Soweto, punishing families for things they do not understand – in the same month, four women lost their lives at the hands of heartless men.

First, it was Karabo Mokoena (22) who was burnt beyond recognition allegedly by her boyfriend and her body was discovered on April 22 in Lyndhurst.

Popi Qwabe (24) was found dead on Friday (May 12) and Bongeka Phungula (28) discovered the next day (May 13).

Phungula’s daughter is finding it difficult to comprehend the reality that her mother has passed. According to the Sowetan, mother and daughter (Minenhle) spent some time chatting on WhatsApp.

The daughter remains adamant that her mom will soon come back home to her.

Still on the subject of murders in Soweto, another female body, identified as Lerato Moloi (27) was found half naked and she is suspected to have been raped before her brutal murder.

Through hard work and determination, Gauteng police announced the apprehension of three men thought to be behind these murders.
