Civil rights movement Not In My Name has expressed outrage following the discovery of the bodies of twin boys in Mamelodi West, Tshwane. Police said the lifeless bodies of the 14-year-old siblings were found with stab wounds inside a bedroom in their home on Friday.
The movement said it has been on site since Friday to show support to the grief-stricken mother. The outraged movement said the protection of children must be reflected in the safety of their homes and communities. The movement has urged anyone with information to assist the police, while calling on the South African Police Service to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure that those responsible are brought to book.
“The police were called to a murder scene, where they were shown the lifeless bodies of the twins inside a bedroom with multiple stab wounds. The mother reportedly found the kids when she came back from work. At this stage, no one has been arrested,” said spokesperson Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi.
