    On Thursday, a group of women dressed in black led a protest march for Thokozile Chrisjan, the 38-year-old nurse and mother of two who was brutally murdered in her home on Friday night in Vukani location in Makhanda.

    The march started from Dlukulu Clinic in Extension 7 and proceeded to BB Zondani Hall.

    Chrisjan was fatally stabbed and her husband assaulted during an armed robbery at their Ngquawana Street home at about 10.30 pm last Friday.

    TV sets and cellphones were stolen and the couple’s vehicle, a Nissan SUV, was stolen and burned down on the way to Fort Beaufort.

    The SUV belonging to Thokozile Chrisjan, which was dumped and set alight off the R67 to Fort Beaufort. This photograph was taken by a local farmer on the morning of Saturday 4 September, the day after Chrisjan’s brutal murder.
