“The driver told us that when he saw that the children were in the van, he left them on the Mew Way Bridge,” he added.

He said they reported the incident to the police around 8:30 pm and told them to go find the children at Mfuleni and Harare.
“They [police] it failed us, because if they started looking then, maybe we would have found them that day. “
“We are only hopeful, but most potential clients have not been successful,” Ntshonga told News24.
