Tears rolled as the Talla family laid their four-year-old Shaynice to rest Wednesday, at the Klipspuit Cemetery.The little child who went missing on Wednesday afternoon, September 28, was found brutally raped and murdered hours later.

A grieving family member at the funeral said:

"God picked a beautiful rose from His garden, but she will always remain with us. It’s so sad but we know that you’re safe in God’s hands.”

“We’re so broken, it hurts knowing that someone can hurt such an innocent young girl,” said family friend, Sonja Bosch.


Head Johannesburg MMC for Health and Social Development Dr Mpho Phalatse said:

"When an innocent life of a little girl is taken in this manner we need to ask ourselves what is wrong with our community. There is a sickness in our community and we have accommodated it for far too long."

"Its time for all of us to regroup and take a stand against social ills. It can't be business as usual. Things need to change in Eldorado Park‚" she added.

So sad
