It takes a village 

 

 

For four years Cynthia Anikie Setuke worked alone deep underground in a dimly lit area, doing a job none of her male colleagues would do.

It was perhaps this gutsiness that led to the 36-year-old’s death in October. For this is where she was murdered.

 

Shortly before her death on October 9, Setuke recorded her unhappiness with her poorly lit workspace, which was isolated from other sections of the Kwezi shaft at Aquarius’s platinum in Rustenburg in the North West province.

 

Her family blames the mine for allowing this to happen.

 

Her sister and brother, Ceciliah and Hans, are also unhappy with the way police have carried out the investigation.
