Members of the Segami family are struggling to cope with Relebogile\u2019s (11) murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Mathapelo Siwisa, EFF-MP who works on the party\u2019s gender violence committee, Relebogile\u2019s mother, Shariema Segami, has been admitted for psychiatric treatment as she is not coping with the situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will speak to her medical team as to how we can assist the family during this ordeal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kagisho Segami, the girl\u2019s father, says he is struggling to come to grips with his daughter\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike my wife, I cannot eat and sleep. I had to drag myself to court today,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRelebogile\u2019s siblings, an older girl of 13 years and a younger boy of nine years, are also struggling and do not have the strength to attend school.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kagisho says he was part of the search team who found his child\u2019s body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
We are now staying with my mother, as we cannot stay in the house close to the murder scene. I must find a job and get my children back to school.\u201d<\/div>\n
Kagisho Segami<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Siwisa says she is supporting the family and community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe accused will be found guilty, and justice will be served for all the other victims out there. He stands accused in another case that happened in 2020,\u201d she said in reference to Itumeleng Machabe (24), who is on trial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Segami, a great uncle of the deceased, says the family knows the suspect well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe was a trusted friend. Relebogile knew him, and probably trusted him. Allegedly he gave her money and she walked off with him,\u201d David said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHer body was found naked, with a branch on top of it. I saw the body \u2013 it was so traumatic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere she lay, a girl of 11, raped and murdered by a much older man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy must people do such horrible things to our children?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect should not get bail, as the community will kill him. One person said he wanted to decapitate him and throw the head at his family\u2019s front door.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
