A 17-year-old suspect was arrested for her murder on Sunday, 7 March. But he was set free by the Ventersdorp Magistrates Court due to insufficient evidence.
Florah said on the morning of the incident, she hesitated when she heard from a neighbour that her house was on fire.
She dismissed firefighters, saying they might have their facts wrong.
“After sending them away, I found out that the backroom was indeed on fire. My husband and I screamed, hoping our daughter was not inside,” she said.
Florah said the night before the incident, a young boy came looking for Mapula.
“He wanted her to help him with his homework. I directed him to where Mapula was. Her cousin came later and helped the boy as Mapula told him she had a vision.
“She said she saw ambulances, fire trucks and police,” she said.
