Meanwhile, dozens of outraged community members from White City in Soweto attended the pair's appearance at the Protea Magistrate's Court.“More than upset…because they were young those kids, they still had lives to live. I was so surprised, how can a granny do that to her own grandchild, even now I’m still surprised.”
