She furthermore said Tshiamo and Nqobile had been playing together on Wednesday when they went missing.

“What a tragic loss! I am angry; I have lost my grandson. He is the son of my firstborn, who died in 2020. I was consoling myself with this one. I identified him by his clothes. I could not look at him. My sister opened the cover and told me that his throat was slit and his penis was missing,” said Ndlovu.

The African Traditional Medicine Programme (ATMP) in Gauteng condemned the horrific murders.

We equally accept the responsibility of ensuring public safety and education. We express our deepest condolences to the families of the two boys,”
