The charred remains found in a shallow grave in Johannesburg
have been confirmed as those of 22-year-old Karabo Mokoena, her family
said on Sunday. Hours before her murder on April 27‚ Karabo Mokoena had a
heated argument with her boyfriend Sandile Mansoe in a Sandton nightclub that
deteriorated into a physical fight‚ the Sunday Times reported.
The couple left the club together but she was never seen
alive again.
The part-time business student’s body was found in a patch
of veld in Bramley‚ Johannesburg‚ two days later by a passer-by who
at first thought the body was a burnt mannequin.
Karabo had been necklaced and had acid poured over her body.
She was burnt beyond recognition.
Mantsoe, 27, faces charges of murder and defeating the ends
of justice. Meanwhile, friends, neighbours and relatives gathered at the
Mokoena family home in Soweto today. They are trying to make sense of Karabo's
murder.
"We mothers feel the pain, the social workers came and
I got a report that the family is still shocked and shattered in terms of what
happened and how it happened." said Gauteng Social Development MEC Nandi
Mayathula-Khaza.
"Today is Mother's Day, our children are celebrating
their mothers, Karabo is no more here to
celebrate her mother." she added.
A memorial service for Krabo will be held at the Diepkloof
Hall on Wednesday and she will be laid to rest on Friday.
