AT MIDDAY on Saturday, Boitumelo Mafura opened a bottle of wine and celebrated her divorce – at 9pm four bullets from a hitman ended her life.
Her “abusive” marriage ended on July 3 when the South Gauteng high court in Johannesburg finalised the divorce decree.
Last Thursday, two days before her murder, her former husband visited and ordered her to reverse their divorce, according to Mafura’s sister, Johannesburg Metro Police spokesperson Inspector Edna Mamonyane.
Mafura, 45, was gunned down as she arrived at her home in Rosettenville, Johannesburg, on Saturday night.
The mother of three daughters aged 10,18 and 22, had left her sister’s house at 8.30pm after the celebration to “an end of the nine years of marriage hell”.
“She kept on saying ‘in the event I die, don’t do the funeral service at my house because of the fighting. You must also not mourn my death but celebrate my life. Let my friends drink because I drink’.”
