The bodies of two boys, aged five and six, were found murdered with their genitals, noses, and lips hacked off in what is being described as one of the most horrific cases in South Africa.
The boys, Nqobile Zulu and Tshiamo Ramanye, had disappeared on Wednesday after being left to play in the street in Soweto by Tshiamo’s grandmother.
The bodies were discovered the following morning by residents in two separate locations in White City and Rockville.
The grandmother of Tshiamo could not hold back her tears when talking to the media about her loss.
African Traditional Medicine Programme Condemns the Murders
The African Traditional Medicine Programme (ATMP) in Gauteng has condemned the horrific murders and distanced itself from individuals and acts that use the sector’s name for criminal acts.
The programme committed to formulating strong relations and cooperation with relevant government departments and stakeholders and to ensuring public safety and education.
The ATMP expressed its deepest condolences to the families of the two boys.
