CAPE TOWN – Relatives of two Khayelitsha children whose bodies were found after they were reported missing a week ago are receiving trauma therapy after identifying them.

Miyolo Gwinta and Linathi Ntshonga were found in a dam between Old Faure Road and the N2 road in Mfuleni on Thursday night after clothes were seen floating in the water.

According to police, the children were last seen alive last Thursday playing a few kilometers from the body of water.
Ndithini Tyhido, from the Khayelitsha Development Forum, said the discovery of the children’s bodies has left the community devastated.

He said that since the seven-year-old children disappeared last Thursday, residents had been patrolling the community day and night, knocking on people’s doors in a desperate attempt to find them.

“We are all stunned. Looking at their ages, looking at the potential that has been lost.”

The police have opened an investigation file for investigation.
