Ruth King will be the first person to be buried following the murders two weeks ago. Her funeral is under way in Gqathula village.“At this point, it is still unbelievable that this has happened and the way it has happened, the way I lost my cousin. I am deeply hurt and I just hope that her death was not in vain, and that perpetrators get caught and dealt with,” adds King.
“We even organised rapid response team so that whenever there are incidents, there are people who are here before we come in as government. But indeed it seems as if we are hitting against the wall. But we will not give up, we will continue. Its’s a very sad incident,” adds Capa.
