No reason for a man to kill a woman, says Rustenburg mayor | News Article

"There can never be a reason for any man to kill a woman," Rustenburg Mayor Mpho Khunou said at the memorial service of Khanyi Ntanga and Basetsana Kgaole who died at the hands of their partners in separate incidents in Boitekong at the weekend.


Ntanga, a well-known DJ and businesswoman also known as "DJ Khanyi", was shot dead allegedly by her police constable boyfriend of six years, Sello Tshukudu.

The constable allegedly shot her in the head on Sunday before he turned the gun on himself. They were found dead in a pool of blood in the policeman's bedroom.

Kgaole was stabbed in the neck on Saturday, allegedly by her boyfriend Sepaki Makhabo. She died on arrival at the Job Shimankana Tabane Hospital in Rustenburg.

"It is sad that Basetsana was stabbed to death while she was carrying her baby on her back. When we visited the family on Monday, the family told us it was the third time that the boyfriend had stabbed her," said Mayor Khunou.

"In the previous two occasions, she hid the incidents from the family." The family said they only found out about the first stabbings long after. 

Pastor Shaun Cingo said the weekend murders were "satanic acts".

"Those who said it was the will of God, you are misled," said the pastor.

"There is no God who would want your children to be killed in the manner that these women were killed. This is a satanic act and we need to pray for our children."

Women, young and old in the different political parties regalia, dominated the service. They held up placards written "enough is enough" and "stop violence against women".
