President Cyril Ramaphosa is deeply saddened by the killing of Eastern Cape traditional leader Nkosikazi Thenjiwe Eunice “Nogcinile” Mtirara.

The 71-year-old matriarch was shot dead in her royal home at Mqhekezweni Great Place on Tuesday night in the Mqhekezweni administrative area, outside Mthatha, by two men wearing balaclavas,” report says.

“This merciless attack on an elderly woman who is a leader in our society and a builder of communities fills us with grief, but it also fuels our resolve to stop violent crime and bring justice to those who live outside the law and have no respect for the dignity and lives of fellow citizens, ” he said in a statement.
