Updated | By Gaopalelwe Phalaetsile
The family of 28-year-old Soweto resident Tshegofatso Pule could not hold back the tears as she was laid to rest on Thursday.
Pule was found stabbed and hanged in a veld in the Durban Deep area, west of Johannesburg on Monday.
She was eight months pregnant.
Her sister Mimi broke down while sharing a memory of Pule telling her that she will always be there for her.
"I am trying to be strong for the family's sake but my strength is falling apart, I am human too. I know we are emotional and her death has touched many souls, but today I am speaking as her uncle and her brother," said her uncle, Tumisang Katake
Katake, who is a lawyer who represented Karabo Mokoena's convicted killer Sandile Mantsoe, vowed to never defend violent men again.
"From this moment on this is my pledge. You come to me and say you have raped, go to hell, you come to me you say you've killed your girlfriend, go to hell, you come to me and say you have molested a child, go tell hell. I don't care."
Her friend Tshepiso Tsita reminded mourners to celebrate Pule’s life.
"Nothing was more important to Tshego than those close to her, so let's keep close to each other and do what she would want. She is so alive in every single one of us and between us, we have so many amazing memories to share, let's enjoy them, she would want us to be happy."
No arrests have been made.
