UYINENE Mrwetyana’s brutal passing has all of us emotional, the team at MGOSI.co.za, is emotionally moved! We are touched! We’re holding our tears – Nene’s beauty screams what she could have became – not slain. Since we saw the calls for Uyinene to have a safe return on Social Media since her disappearance, we have been wishing and hoping that this little girl returns home safe. We’ve imagined the agony her parents were and are still experiencing. May she rests in great power until we meet again.
Khanya Mrwetyana, the older sister of the murdered and raped UCT student has paid homage to her in an emotional and touching Facebook post on Monday.
As affectionately known, Nene was last seen leaving her university residence, Roscommon on Saturday, the 24th of August. According to various reports she was allegedly locked inside the Clereinch post office, where she was raped and murdered by the alleged perpetrator whose name was revealed by Twitter users as Luyanda Botha.
She had allegedly been lured by a 42-year old man who is an employee at the branch. The man appeared at the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court on charges of murder and rape on Monday.
“What haunts me the most isn’t the fact that you’re gone and taken away from us so soon, it’s the thought of the fear and pain you experienced all alone. I’m so sorry Bhelekazi. I’m so sorry you had to be alive at a time where being a woman is all it takes to set a man off. Now we hold on to the memories we shared together and the thought of what could’ve become of you had that man not violated you. Hurt. -That’s what I am.
“That’s what we all are. Such a beautiful soul with an entire future and opportunities awaiting her. God. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, where my faith will be made stronger. All the other times I said I was hurt or I was crying, I was probably being impossible. Nothing compares to what I’m feeling right now. All air has left my lungs and my heart is right there below my knees. But even so, it is well with my soul.
“It’s so much harder to remain safe. Not even sending my location or memorising number plates is enough. I could be walking to the bathroom eMall and just like that my story ends. It’s quite sad. We now move around wondering who’s next because it just doesn’t stop. Will the storm ever calm? I will never question God but I ask that he heals our hearts as your family, your friends, as women, as a country and we remain stronger in faith. Uyinene, you’re still my baby sister and always will be. I love you so much Nene wam, Bhelekazi, Mafu, Ndabezitha, Langa lokulungu. Fly away my butterfly,” reads the Facebook post.
