Njabulo's father - Thandaza Mankayi says the family will now try and find closure.
"It's a hurtful thing to have happened to us and to the children - the victims. It's been a long four days since Njabulo went missing - it was worse when we knew of the possibility of his death but we couldn't find his body. The whole family is hurting. Now that the body has been found, we can now give him a funeral," he says.
