Limpopo, South Africa — A somber atmosphere hung over the small community of Mamelodi this week as family, friends, and neighbors gathered to bid farewell to two young cousins whose lives were tragically cut short. The funeral, held on Saturday, was filled with tears, prayers, and a lingering sense of disbelief as loved ones tried to come to terms with the brutal loss.

The cousins, whose names have not been officially released pending police confirmation, were reportedly found slain under circumstances that have shocked the province. As investigators continue to piece together what happened, the community is demanding justice and transparency from authorities.

Family members described the young women as vibrant, kind-hearted, and full of promise. “They didn’t deserve this. We just want answers,” said a grieving relative during the service. Emotional tributes painted a picture of two lives intertwined not only by blood but by deep friendship and shared dreams.

As the sun set over the cemetery, mourners placed flowers and candles beside the graves — a silent plea for peace, healing, and justice.
