The likes of Somizi, Maps Maponyane and Thando Thabethe have applauded Karabo Mokoena's mother, Lolo, for the unbelievable strength she showed as she spoke about the pain of her daughter's murder.
In what can be dubbed as an emotionally-charged interview Lolo told eNCA's Checkpoint that she "warned" Karabo about Sandile Mantsoe, who has been arrested allegedly in connection with her murder.
"I told her straight… 'Karabo, Sandile is going to kill you'. You can't go on like this. This is not a toxic relationship, I don't know what to call it even,'" Lolo said.
This after Sandile allegedly beat Karabo so badly she ended up in hospital.
