South Africa: EFF Welcomes the Judgement By Judge Johnson On Karabo Mokoena's Murder

press release

The EFF welcomes the judgement in the murder case of Karabo Mokoena who was killed through stabbing and her body dumped after being burned beyond recognition. Today, Judge Johnson handed down his judgement and found Sandile Mantsoe, who had been Karabo Mokoena's lover, guilty of assault, murder and defeating the ends of justice.

We welcome this verdict as a step in the right direction towards finding justice for the high levels of femicide facing our country. South African men are at war against women. A woman in our country, including the girl child, lives in permanent fear of sexual assault, rape and brutal murder, often by someone they know intimately.
