Sanelisiwe Mhlongo murder accused back in court after evaluation
A 15-year-old boy accused of murdering 4-year-old KwaMashu girl, Sanelisiwe Mhlongo, is being taken back to court on Friday.
She'd been stabbed and dumped in a bush near her home, after she was left in the care of a relative last month.
The NPA's Natasha Kara says the teenager appeared in court earlier this week.
"The matter appeared before the Ntuzuma Magistrate Court. The matter was postponed to Friday, 9 October for the accused to under psychiatric evaluation."
Sanelisiwe's aunt, Dolly Mhlongo says the traumatic ordeal's left the child's mother broken.
Local artists and activists visited the family home on Thursday.
"What he has done is very painful - even as a child - because Sanelisiwe's mother no longer wants to live in this house now.
"She also lives each day in fear now and at night, she needs to be accompanied when going to the bathroom or to fetch water.
"She keeps saying if we really cared about her, we would let justice be served to its fullest."
