Every time a woman is murdered, Uyinene Mrwetyana's grieving family relive her grisly death at the hands of an employee of the SA Post Office, which they are now suing.

“I don’t know what it would take for our country to change, I really don’t know,” family spokesperson Thembelani Mrwetyana told News24. The University of Cape Town student’s mother, Noma, copes by throwing herself into building up the foundation established in her daughter’s name, and is trying to raise funds to support victims of gender-based violence.They are convinced the post office should have done due diligence when it employed Luyanda Botha who had a history of run-ins with the law.

It is cold comfort to them that Botha is in jail and the family wants to make sure that what happened to Uyinene does not happen to anybody else.“We are taking it day by day, really. But there is no complete healing,” said Mrwetyana when asked how the family was coping.“Someone died here, unnecessarily so, and someone must answer,” said Mrwetyana.
