The Save South Africa campaign and opposition party leaders paid tribute on Friday to Karabo Mokoena‚ who was allegedly killed by her boyfriend.

“Another woman has become a victim for domestic violence from an intimate partner and this has to come to a stop‚” said Save South Africa’s Sharon Ekambaram at a joint media briefing in Johannesburg.

Chaos in court as Karabo Mokoena murder suspect appearsChaos erupted in the small courtroom of the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court where Sandile Mantsoe‚ the man accused of killing Karabo Mokoena‚ was to make his first appearance. 

“For all the male leaders of political parties‚ as Save South Africa‚ we are asking what are we doing about this? It’s part of the decay of our democracy if we cannot respect women and afford them the human dignity that they deserve.”

Karabo had been missing since April 28.
