The KwaZulu-Natal department of social development has sent social workers to the family of an eight-month-old baby girl who was murdered and buried in a shallow grave.
A spokesperson for the department, Mhlaba Memela said: “The MEC [Nonhlanhla Khoza] has condemned this horrendous act and sent out social workers to provide psychosocial services to the bereaved family,” Memela said.
“He fled with the baby after an argument and family members were concerned that he might hurt the baby because he was angry when he left. They went to report the matter to the police but sadly when they arrived at his shack, he had already killed the baby and buried her in a shallow grave,” he said.
