Slain Eastern Cape physiotherapist Marolien Schmidt was honoured with a memorial service in Gqeberha on Friday. Schmidt was killed in her home in Richmond Hill on Women's Day. Hundreds of loved ones showed up to the memorial dressed in pink, Schmidt's favourite colour. Marolien Schmidt, 40, was found in a pool of blood at the foot of the stairs by neighbours in the early hours of last Wednesday morning. Glasses were filled with champagne and he asked everyone to honour his sister with a "party", as she had asked.
