KZN alleged kidnapping: 'Please return my son'
The father of a missing nine-month-old baby from Murchison, near Port Shepstone is making a desperate call for his son's safe return.
Charles Nkonyeni says the family is worried sick about his son's safety.
"Wherever you are, please bring back my son. We are really worried about him. We don't know how he is. Things have become difficult for us. We're counting the days - sleeping and waking up without him. If you are listening, please return him home," he says.
Little Christopher Khutyiswayo has been missing for nearly two weeks. The family believes the baby was taken by his 19-year-old aunt.

She allegedly disappeared with him in the Gamalakhe area last month.
Nkonyeni claims the boy's aunt - who'd been looking after Christopher - left with him to meet a friend in Port Shepstone but never returned.
He says police traced her phone to Pietermaritzburg a day after she disappeared with the baby.
"I don't know what the intention was of taking my son. What worries me is that nowadays, people sell children to do bad things with the young babies. We haven't been able to get hold of her. I don't know what she was going to do with my son," he says.
Police have issued a warrant of arrest against Nqobile's Nkonyeni.
