CAPE TOWN – The Khayelitsha Development Forum has expressed its sadness after the discovery of the bodies of two children who disappeared a week ago.
The children were found in a dam between Old Faure Road and the N2 road in Mfuleni on Thursday night.
The Khayelitsha Development Forum said that since Miyolo Gwinta and Linathi Ntshonga disappeared last Thursday, residents had been patrolling the community day and night, knocking on people’s doors in a desperate attempt to find the 7-year-old children.
However, police divers recovered their bodies from a wetland in Mfuleni last night after they saw clothes floating in the water.
The families of the deceased, who have identified the bodies, are receiving trauma counseling.
Forum President Ndithini Tyhido: “I know the community had full patrols, volunteers, door to door, neighbor to neighbor, checking and searching for children only for the children to be found in one wetland area in the other side of the N2 “.
According to the police, the children were last seen alive playing a few kilometers from the wetland.
