“What sad news to wake up to; This beautiful young lady, killed in her prime by her Ex Bf who had a history of beating her. killed in a luxury apartment building in Sandton then taken away & burnt by the same Animal who proceeded to then pretend to help the family look for her.

Only 2 weeks ago she came to me for support on setting up her NGO telling me she’d had some terrible experiences with Men & wanted peace & happiness in her life & try help less privileged girls. She didnt get happiness but I pray she will get peace now.

Rest in Peace Dear Karabo. Such a kind & genuine soul. .AFRICA when is it time we talk about domestic violence ?? # Ladies No amount of money, fast cars, Champagne at clubs, fancy bags are worth getting beaten, misused & worse. The moment Your Man puts a hand on you its time to leave.. before it gets too late.”

“I really shouldn’t be doing this but the worst has happened and someone’s life might be saved . My friend was murdered by her ex and burned beyond recognition.

Before then he had battered her black and blue on one occasion and would constantly drain her emotionally. These signs were there , he tried to kill her many times until he succeeded. Now my friend is gone and she ll never be able to grow into the person God destined her to be. If he pushes you, hits you, yells at you … my dear take to your heels before you get yourself killed. Life is too fickle to be toyed with . Only a fool refuses to learn from other people’s lessons .”
