Constable Keamogetswe Buys’ family held a ritual to help their daughter’s spirit find peace and seek justice for her death.

Dark Ritual at Slain Officer’s Funeral: Family’s Secret Tradition Exposed
In the quiet, grief-laden town of
Bloemfontein, the funeral of Constable Boipelo Senoge at St Peter Anglican Church in Rocklands on Thursday was meant to be a solemn farewell to a young officer whose life was tragically cut short. But a chilling revelation, leaked by a close family member who stood among the mourners, has cast a shadow over the ceremony, unveiling a macabre family ritual that unfolded under the cover of night. The night before the burial, Senoge’s parents, cloaked in secrecy, performed a ritual they called a sacred family tradition. In a dimly lit room, they washed their daughter’s lifeless body with muthi, a traditional herbal concoction, their hands trembling with purpose. As part of this eerie rite, they severed a small piece of her body- whispered to be a finger or toe–to be buried by the family gate, a gesture believed to bind the spirit to the homestead. The water used to bathe the corpse was not discarded; instead, it was collected and, in a shocking twist, used to cook the food served to mourners the next morning and to dilute the juice they drank. According to the family member, this act was no mere tradition but a deliberate spell, intended to compel the one responsible for Senoge’s death to step forward and confess. Senoge, alongside Constables Cebekhulu Linda and
Keamogetswe Buys, perished in April when their car plunged into the Hennops River in Centurion, an incident initially shrouded in mystery after the trio was reported missing. At the funeral, Police Minister Senzo Mchunu spoke of the officers’ dedication and untapped potential, unaware of the dark ritual that had preceded the service. The mourners, sipping juice and eating food prepared with the ritual water, were unwitting participants in a ceremony that blurred the line between grief and vengeance, leaving a haunting question: will the truth this ritual seeks rise from the shadows?
