President Cyril Ramaphosa has promised to build a decent house for the family of slain Capricorn TVET college student Precious Ramabulana and to offer a school bursary to her seven-year-old younger sister.
Ramaphosa paid a courtesy visit to Ramabulana's family yesterday. The 21-year-old was brutally killed in her rented room in GaJoel, a section of Mokomene village in Limpopo, last week.
"The president expressed his deep shock on the murder of our daughter and said he is now aware that Precious was studying hard to take the family out of abject poverty. Speaking to the media at the front door of Ramabulana's half-plastered house, Ramaphosa said what saddened him more was that the perpetrator had a previous brush with the law for an alleged rape before stabbing Precious 52 times and killing her.
