The 21-year-old was brutally murdered on Sunday, on the eve of the 16 days of activism campaign.
Mashotha said the family was devastated that Ramabulana had become a statistic — yet another victim to the scourge of gender-based violence in SA.
She said Ramabulana’s future looked bright, to the point that she aspired to change her family’s circumstances. “She was our hope. She always expressed her dreams of changing her families life. We were certain that she would make it big in life because she was very disciplined and God-fearing,” said Mashotha.
