A glimmer of hope remains that one day we will end femicide scourge

The killing machine we wrote about in this space, lamenting the senseless murders of women seems not to be slowing down one bit. In this edition, Sunday World is telling the stories of more women falling victim to the scourge that just slightly over a week ago had the entire nation enraged at the senselessness and brutality of it all.

Today we have among the horror tales, that of the confession of a man who killed his own sister and buried her remains. He lived with his secret for more than a year, until the guilt of it all gnawed at him to out his dark secret.

The sister was all along officially listed as missing. She has now joined the victim list of a wave of femicide that inexplicably and incessantly continues to batter this country. God knows what unspeakable crimes were visited upon these women, before the killers decided they had to be silenced forever.

It has hardly been 10 days since the remains of Olorato Mongale were interred, yet the body count of women continues to pile up. We hasten to point out that these are in no way verified numbers but since the news of her death, we are afraid to report that at least 10 women have been murdered.
