Raylene Louw desperately pleaded with the 43-year-old accused as he entered the dock, begging him to tell her where her son is.  

He did not respond but moments after proceedings - just before he was led back down to the grills - he whispered to Magistrate Mahomed Motala who's presiding over the case that he didn't do it.

Miguel disappeared from outside Rippon Primary School, in Sydenham, two weeks ago. CCTV footage of the abduction led to the quick arrest of a man understood to be a colleague of Raylene's - but Miguel has still not been found.  

The man - whose identity the court has ordered be withheld for now - made his second appearance before the magistrate yesterday.

The Organised Crime Unit's taken over investigations and he's now being charged with trafficking of persons.  

The case continues next week.
