Africa-Press – South-Africa. We have committed to the family to find these killers and we have also committed to Bheki Cele’s word that he must find them before we do – because, if we find them before him, we will not give him any guarantee.”
These were the words of EFF leader Julius Malema when he addressed the media gathered outside Godrich Gardee’s family home in Mpumalanga on Wednesday.
Gardee is a former EFF secretary-general.
Malema visited the home after the tragic death of Gardee’s daughter, Hillary.
Hillary went missing on Friday in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga.
Her body was discovered on Tuesday at an isolated site in a timber plantation about 40km outside Nelspruit.

Malema said there would be no rest until the perpetrators of the crime were found.
“We have deployed all manner of resources on the ground to look for the perpetrators. This is an internal mission and, therefore, we have no reason to look over the borders for who could have done this,” said Malema.
“We have gotten word from the intelligence deployed on the ground that it is internal work and we are coming closer to what happened.”
EFF supporters stood outside the family home and expressed their support for the family.
“We are troubled by what happened. We can’t sleep, and we won’t sleep until we find the ones who killed our daughter,” said Malema.
“We want to teach these perpetrators a lesson they have never gotten in their life because they have messed with the wrong person – anyone who touches our children, touches us.”
