BBC: Tshegofatso Pule killing: South African man on murder charge
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-53076289

A 31-year-old man has been charged with the murder of a South African woman whose stabbed body was found hanging from a tree last week.

Twenty-eight-year-old Tshegofatso Pule was eight months pregnant.

Mzikayise Malephane appeared in court and was charged with premeditated murder.

After her death, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said the culture of silence around gender-based violence had to end.

[Ms Pule went missing on 4 June and four days later a member of the public found her body in the Johannesburg suburb of Roodepoort.

She was hanging from a tree and had been stabbed through the chest.

There was a wave of outrage in South Africa after Ms Pule's death and the hashtag #JusticeForTshego trended on Twitter./div]
