Karabo Mokoena was weak, says Minister for Women
24 May 2017
Johannesburg – Whilst the late Karabo Mokoena came across as very strong, internally, she was weak.
These were the shocking words uttered by Minister of Women in the Presidency, Susan Shabangu, on Tuesday night’s eNCA’s weekly investigative current affairs programme Checkpoint.
The episode focused on the late 22-year-old’s family, which is grieving her death, allegedly at the hands of her boyfriend, Sandile Mantsoe.“She was weak and hence she became a victim of abuse. As she tried to deal with her situation in sharing it with other abused women, she ended up being a victim of abuse,” said Shabangu.
At Mokoena's funeral on Friday, Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini was one of the speakers.
