The little girl was last seen going to a tuck shop situated near her family home but days later, her body was found in a stormwater drain near Worcester.
CAPE TOWN - The funeral service of a murdered child has brought about the same emotions in an Elsies River community who lost another young girl less than three years ago.The man, Mohydien Pangaker, who has been arrested and charged for her murder is a neighbour who's out on parole for various crimes.
The Elsies River community bid farewell to three-year-old Courtney Pieters in May 2017. Her body was found several days after she was reported missing. The community has come out in their numbers to support the family of Van Wyk as they bid a tearful goodbye to the little girl.Western Cape Health MEC Nomafrench Mbombo was one of the keynote speakers. She told the crowd that she was speaking as a mother with a broken heart#TazneVanWyk The little girl’s white and bronze coffin stands in front of the church. SF pic.twitter.com/U3MjTnfwDT
— EWN Reporter February 29, 2020 #TazneVanWyk The funeral service is about to start. The church is packed on the inside. SF pic.twitter.com/91XfjXum2SZelda Trantraal from the Ravensmead Community Safety Forum was instrumental in the search for the child." Tazne's death should teach us something. At least I think it was a big move from government for acknowledging that they made a mistake by releasing this perpetrator on parole.
Scores of Eslies River residents who couldn't gain entry to the church because it was too full, sat silently outside the church building, watching the funeral service on four TV screens.They've conveyed their condolences to the little girl's family and voiced their dissatisfaction that the alleged perpetrator was a parolee.The issue is not anymore, the woman and the skirt that she is wearing, the dress. What she looked like how she walks.
