Two Limpopo women Mmapula Letsoalo and
Duduzile Masango have been murdered by their partners
who had been granted bail for gender-based violence
crimes. In the first incident, 40-year-old Letsoalo was
gunned down by her boyfriend Matome Matlakala on

Sunday, hours after he was granted bail. She had made
a criminal complaint of intimidation against him and he
was arrested and charged. In the second incident, 27-
year-old Masango was killed by her boyfriend a few
weeks after she had made a rape complaint against
him. We now speak to Welekazi Stofile, Executive Director
at Tshwaranang Legal Advocacy Centre.
