By Thys Khiba – The North West MEC for health Madoda Sambatha has condemned the murder of a professional nurse, Sister Iris Mohokare and appealed to anyone with information relating to the incident to contact police officials.
This comes after a body of a 47-year-old nurse was discoveredat her rented home in Schweizer-Reneke, two days after assuming her new role.
“We condemn Sister Mohokare’s murder in the strongest terms and we want to appeal to anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the alleged killer to contact the police,” said Sambatha.
Mohokare had recently been promoted to the position of Facility Manager of Ipelegeng Clinic.
Sambatha viewed the murder as devastating and called on communities to protect women.
While sending a message of condolences to the family, colleagues and friends of Mohokare, Sambatha said it is disturbing that women are no longer safe in South Africa.
“It is unfortunate and disturbing reality that women in this country are no longer safe. Our communities and homes have become a haven for criminals who prey on and murder women and young girls,” Sambatha said.
At this moment, there are no arrests made by police officials relating to this matter.
