ANCWL demands justice following North West woman's murder─── LUCKY NKUYANE 08:48 Sat, 21 Jan 2023
The North West ANC Women's League insists that justice be done after the murder of a 31-year-old woman in Kanana near Ornkey outside Klerksdorp in the North West.
The suspect, who is understood to be an ANC Member of Parliament in the National Assembly, was arrested by the police in Kanana on Friday for the alleged murder of his wife in November 2022.

The motive is not yet known. The ANC Women League's provincial governor, Bitsa Lenkopane, says the murder is a painful reminder of the prevalence of gender-based violence and femicide that many women and children still face.
"The deceased was stabbed to death in her home on 27 November 2022. On Friday 20 January 2023, her husband was arrested for the gruesome murder. The accused will be appearing on Monday 23 January 2023 at 08:00 the Orkney Magistrate's Court, North West," Lenkopane adds.
The deceased reportedly shared a series of messages about gender-based violence before her death.
In a Facebook post she allegedly mentioned that, "GBV is real, if I wake up killed or any of my family members, please don't look far."
This is a developing story.
