Friends and family members are demanding justice after a 27-year-old woman was allegedly killed by her ex-boyfriend in North West province, South Africa.
Tshenolo Mabote was allegedly beaten to death by her ex-boyfriend on January 22, 2023 in Marikana, Rustenburg.
The suspect, identified as Sasa Thomas, is also the father of Tshenolo’s 11-month-old son.
It is alleged that her ex-boyfriend went to Tshenolo’s home where he attacked her and stoned her multiple times with concrete bricks.
When he realised Tshenolo was unconscious, he then dragged her by her legs on the streets, continuing to beat her, while walking to his home. When neighbours tried to intervene, the suspect kept pointing a gun at them.
He then took Tshenolo to the hospital, where she was transferred to another hospital. Tshenolo succumbed to her injuries on Monday, January 23.
The ex-boyfriend was arrested at the hospital.
In a statement on Wednesday, January 24, 2023, the African National Congress Youth League, ANCYL, in Kgetleng Sub Region, condemned the murder.
