Pretoria - With femicide statistics stating 1 in 4 women were killed by their intimate partners - the bereaved family of slain Lesego Mabuse has called for the justice system to start taking gender-based killings more seriously.
She was initially reported missing on 4 January by her husband, who alleged he had not seen her since she left the day before. Mokwena said the husband shot his cousin five times in the car, after leaving their home in Lotus Gardens, before driving to a secluded area in De Wildt just outside Pretoria to bury the body.
“We understand investigations take time but we experience women being killed in our community’s every day now and it appears to be taken lightly by the justice system.”
