Sanelisiwe Mhlongo murder suspect in court today
Community members from KwaMashu say they'll respond to the murder of four-year-old Sanelisiwe Mhlongo - with a show of strength on Thursday.
A local resident, Zinhle Cele says they'll be gathering outside the Ntuzuma Magistrate's Court, to demand no bail for the murder accused - a 15-year-old boy who's also related to little Sanelisiwe.

"That perpetrator once he is arrested, he must not be given bail and secondly we are asking police to do their best when dealing with cases of gender-based violence."
"We are pleading with the Department of Justice and with the police to do their utmost to defend women on the community."
The child was found a day after she went missing last Wednesday, her little body punctured with stab wounds.
The KwaMashu community's also incensed by the recent murders of two women.
