Jacquelene Mpontsana died after being doused with petrol and set alight during a domestic dispute earlier this week.

Government Communication and Information System Western Cape director Geraldine Thopps said this crime was particularly concerning and tragic because Mpontsana was at the forefront of the fight against gender-based violence and femicide. She was first appointed in the Western Cape Department of Community Safety in 2005 and had since performed a number of different roles.
