RIP: Lolitha Kowa to be laid to rest on Saturday! Seven-year-old Lolitha Kowa is being laid to rest in Lady Frere in the Eastern Cape on Saturday.
Kowa was murdered in Khayelitsha, in Cape Town, allegedly by her friend’s mother and her boyfriend.
She was last seen playing with her friend at the couple’s home in Kuyasa last Tuesday, and her body was found dumped at a site nearby the following day.
Lolitha Kowa to be laid to rest
Her alleged killers, Odwa Jack and Nokuthula Matyesen, have been arrested and appeared in court, and their case has been postponed to next Friday.
African National Congress (ANC) Women’s League Western Cape secretary Thozama Bevu said as the country commemorates Women’s Month, it’s baffling to think that a woman is linked to the murder of little Lolitha Kowa.
Bevus said she’s disappointed that a mother with children would be involved in something like this.
“There’s something called inimba because Nokuthula conceived children, because I saw that she has two kids. I cannot understand how can she allow something like this to happen in her house.”
Lolitha’s alleged killers, Jack and Matyeseni, will be back in court next week, Friday.
