Modjadji Marikhela, of Mookgopong in Limpopo, told Sowetan yesterday she forgave her daughter's father who was this week convicted by the Polokwane High Court and sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of their daughter Bonolo in May last year.Marikhela, however, insisted that she had already broken up with Motsai when he attacked their child.
Marikhela was close to tears when she explained how the brutal murder has affected her surviving four-year-old daughter. "She insisted that she wanted to open the grave to see indeed if it was her sister [in the grave]," she said.
