‘DO NOT LET ANOTHER MOTHER LIVE MY NIGHTMARE’ When the system fails: a mother's plea during 16 Days of Activism

Post

December 03, 2025

Grieving mother Jessica Shah speaks out about how police failure to confiscate her daughter's ex-boyfriend's firearm led to her murder, despite multiple prior cases and a protection order. She calls for accountability in the SAPS during the 16 Days of Activism against GBV

AS WE OBSERVE 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (GBV), I am speaking out because I do not want another parent to suffer the way I am.

My 25-year-old daughter, Sasha Lee Monique Shah, was murdered in cold blood by her ex-boyfriend who shot her multiple times, a confirmed GBV case (inquest 212/2022)

Her killer had three prior cases at the same police station. My daughter's case was the fourth. And every time, he was allowed to keep his firearm.

If SAPS had removed his gun the first time he pointed it at a woman, my daughter would be alive today.
