A four-year-old boy was fatally injured in a dog attack while playing with friends near his home in Sedgefield, Knysna.
A community is in mourning following the tragic death of a four-year-old boy, Simikuso 'Simi' Ntswayibana, who was fatally injured in a dog attack yesterday.
According to Simi’s grandfather and family spokesperson, Johnson Dyan, the children were playing as usual when a pack of dogs in the area began chasing them. “We started looking for him immediately. The community and myself searched tirelessly for him, but we couldn’t find him. I contacted the police and the local councillor for assistance, and it was just before 21:00 that we discovered his body,” Dyan says.Dyan claims the dog that attacked Simi had bitten him a week earlier. He expresses deep frustration that dogs in the area are allowed to roam freely and are not properly controlled, putting children and other residents at risk.
