Soweto police have appealed for information on the people who beat mentally ill 59-year-old Jostina Sangweni so badly that she died.
The police said Sangweni was accused of witchcraft and attacked in Mapetla.
She was found severely injured on 26 March after her family reported her missing, but she did not survive her injuries and died this week.
The brutal beating of a 59-year-old mentally ill woman, Jostina Sangweni, has caused outrage and demands for justice.
The police appealed for information to help them find the people who rounded on Sangweni in Soweto and accused her of witchcraft and attacked her.
Ah, this is going to linger for a while. EFF Commissar Mbuyiseni Ndlozi – whose greatest hits include calling Nelson Mandela a sell-out and denouncing the Springboks’ Rugby World Cup victory – has added another hot take to the collection. On Tuesday, the controversial MP stated that ‘no white person on this continent can claim to be African’.
Mbuyiseni Ndlozi angers Twitter with race claims
Between 8% – 10% of all South Africans are white citizens, with at least 80% of the population sitting in the ‘Black African’ demographic. The discourse about the imbalance of wealth between the two groups is frequently brought into the limelight by the EFF, but with the Easter holidays done and dusted, Ndlozi has decided to kick things up another level.
Nothing calms a situation quite like Julius Malema threatening to start a fight, hey? The EFF leader has taken to social media, in a bid to offer his support to the students taking part in the Wits protests. Youngsters are demonstrating against the university – and now the police – due to issues over funding and SAPS brutality.
The firebrand politician has offered his services to the student groups, who have blockaded roads and made a firm stand of solidarity on Thursday. The death of a bystander at the hands of a police officer yesterday infuriated demonstrators, and President Ramaphosa blasted the SAPS response during a public address on Thursday.

#eNCA was trending on Twitter on Thursday, with some accusing the reporter and broadcaster of racism and unconscious bias.
An eNCA journalist is under fire for appearing to treat two politicians - one black, one white - differently during a post-budget interview on Wednesday.
Political reporter Lindsay Dentlinger was interviewing Freedom Front Plus leader Pieter Groenewald who conducted the interview without a mask.
As the interview finished and Groenewald left the shot, UDM Deputy President Nqabayomzi Kwankwa took his place and began to remove his mask, leading Dentlinger to ask him to keep it on.
