The EFF's Provincial Secretary, Bosanku Msimangu, attended the night vigil with the Chairperson of Ward 18, Mathapelo Koena, along with the President of the ACT, Ace Magashule.
The EFF in the Free State held a night vigil for the murdered magistrate outside the Bloemfontein Regional Court.
The night vigil of the late Magistrate Mamello Thamae (40) was held on Thursday (28/9), just when an alleged rape case against a Bloemfontein businessman and his son was withdrawn. EFF women were also present.

The body of Thamae was found last weekend in the neighbouring country Lesotho after she was reported missing on Thursday (21/9). Her body was discovered with the help of her husband. However, in a twist of events, the husband was later arrested by the police and detained in Lesotho, awaiting extradition back to South Africa.
