Fourty-two-year-old Nomfesane Mjobo's body was found in Kempton Park last month.
On Sunday, the body of 42-year-old Nomfesane Mjobo, one of the murdered women discovered in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, is to be laid to rest near Lusikisiki in the Eastern Cape.

Fanta has also pledged her department's support for the family, stating that they have initiated psycho-social services to assist them. She emphasized the importance of providing support to the children, ensuring they can cope with the tragedy. Fanta appealed for churches to play a vital role in the moral regeneration of the community, asserting that men are responsible for these heinous crimes.
She highlighted the role of traditional leaders' houses and the teachings within initiation schools.
