BLOEMFONTEIN - 'Your presence in my life was a gift,' said deceased officer Boipelo Senoge's friend at her funeral.
The 31-year-old who was one of the three constables found dead at the Hennops River in Centurion was laid to rest in Bloemfontein, Free State.
Senoge disappeared with two colleagues, constables Cebekhulu Linda, and Keamogetswe Buys, while they were on their way to Limpopo in April.

Her friend said, although Senoge was gone, her memory still lives on.
Police Minister Senzo Mchunu delivered a eulogy and said a thorough investigation is underway to determine the cause of the deaths.
"When a police officer leaves the service, worse when it is through death, the impact is felt deeply throughout the entire department," he said
