Night vigils for the murdered Free State acting judge, Mamello Thamae, have been held in all nine provinces. Thamae was found dead in the boot of a car in Lesotho after she was reported missing last week.
Thamae’s husband has appeared in court in Lesotho on a charge of murder, and the case has been postponed to the ninth of October.
A colleague and friend, Ntswaki Mokhele, says they have lost a rising star who was not shy to address tough matters. The South African Women’s Lawyers Association says it stands firm against gender-based violence. A member of the association, Tumelo Modise, says they have lost one of the most promising leaders in their profession.
Black Lawyers’ Association member Sekonyela Moeketsi says gender-based violence has to be rooted out in all forms in society and at work.
