Isaac Moeketsi Manonye, a 55-year-old man, has been arrested for the m8rder of Sarah Ndini, his 28-year-old girlfriend in Seshego, Polokwane, South Africa.
The accused appeared briefly in Seshego Magistrates’ Court on Friday, March 7, 2025. He abandoned his bail application.
It is alleged that on 05 March 2025 in Seshego, the deceased was in the company of a witness who was left at the gate of her homestead when she was entering the house.
However, when the witness was about to leave, she heard a noise coming from the house, and immediately, she sought help from the community members, who then arrived at the house to assist.
The accused then came out of his house with bloodstains.
The community members then entered the house and found the deceased with several stab wounds.
They requested a vehicle to take her to Seshego hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
The police were called, and the accused was then arrested.
The matter is postponed to 25 April 2025 for further investigations.
The accused remains in custody.
Meanwhile, the ANC Women’s League (ANCWL) in the Peter Mokaba Region has condemned the m8rder of Sarah and called for justice.
“The ANC Women’s League (ANCWL) in the Peter Mokaba Regional Task Team is deeply outraged and heartbroken by the tragic and senseless murder of Sarah Ndini, a resident of Seshego Ward 13 Peter Mokaba Region Extension 133. Sarah was brutally k!lled yesterday, allegedly at the hands of her partner, who has since fled,” the group says in a statement on Thursday.
“We condemn this heinous act in the strongest terms and call on law enforcement agencies to act swiftly to ensure that the perpetrator is apprehended and faces the full might of the law. Gender-based violence (GBV) continues to rob our society of innocent women, and we cannot remain silent while women are being slaughtered in their homes, the very places where they should feel safe.
“The ANCWL Peter Mokaba Regional Task Team sends its deepest condolences to the family, friends, and community of Sarah Ndini. No family should ever have to endure such a loss. We stand in solidarity with all women who continue to suffer at the hands of abusive partners and reaffirm our commitment to fighting for justice and the protection of all women in our society.
“We call upon all sectors of society, government, law enforcement, community leaders, and civil society, to unite against gender-based violence. We must not only condemn these acts but actively work towards creating a society where women live free from fear.
The ANCWL will continue to support the Ndini family during this difficult time and will work tirelessly to ensure that Sarah’s death does not become another statistic in the ongoing scourge of femicide in our country.
‘’We urge anyone with information on the whereabouts of the suspect to come forward and assist law enforcement in bringing him to justice. Enough is enough! Justice for Sarah Ndini!”
