The body of a decomposed child found in Imizamo Yethu in Hout Bay in December has been confirmed to be Anothando Mhlobo.
Mhlobo (3) went missing in August and a man-hunt pursued in hopes of finding the suspect he was last seen with.
Last month, police uncovered a decomposed body and sent the remains for a DNA test. The body was found in a rocky, sandy area of Imizamo Yethu in Hout Bay some 100m away from Mhlobo’s home.
“They have done the DNA test; it has been completed and can confirm that the child is the boy of the Mhlobos. I feel sad but they feel more than me. It is a bad situation,” said community leader Samkelo Krweqe to EWN.
When the child was declared missing, the community rallied to find him and were unsuccessful.
