'Senzeni na?' A song I sing over 'n over again

A JOURNO'S VOICE

- KAYLNNE BANTOM

"Senzeni na? What have we done?" This is a song I often find myself singing in the office, much to the amusement of my colleagues. Here I am, a woman in South Africa today, writing this and find myself singing it yet again.

But this time these lyrics hold so much pain and heartache. I am singing this song on behalf of yet another woman who was murdered in our beloved country.

According to police, Olorato Mongale left her home in Athol, Johannesburg on Sunday 25 May with a man she had planned to go out on a date with.

“The man collected Olorato from her residential complex around 15:00,” read the police report. “He drove the victim to the township of Alexandra, proceeded to Kew afterwards, and between Alexandra and Lombardy West allegedly murdered Olorato and dumped her body.”
