Mathabela’s funeral service took place in Kanyamazane and has been laid to rest in Rocky’s Drift.
Mathabela’s uncle, Ali Sibiya says the family wishes the perpetrators can be locked up with no bail.
“We pray the justice system will help us big time and make sure that these guys they don’t see light ever again because what they did is imaginable. It is so out of this world, it’s unfair. They stole this child’s life; she was very young. We were not ready for this we still hoped for a future for her,” says Sibiya.
