The United National Transport Union (UNTU) reports the brutal murder of one of its members, Thandi Nocela, who was killed in Sasolburg on Saturday morning by a male known to her. The suspect has been arrested.
Nocela worked as a Yard Official at the Sasolburg Yard for four years. Steve Harris, General Secretary of UNTU, noted that that every eight hours a South African woman is killed by her partner or someone known to her, which ranks SA as the highest in this respect in the world. He called on the police and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to ensure that Nocela’s death did not just become another statistic.
