The two women, Amahle Maliwa, 31, and Linziwe Ngwayishe, 33, were arrested a day after the 10-year-old best friends Njabulo Mankayi and Luyanda Msomi went missing in November 2017.

On Wednesday, the court heard witness testimony from a 13-year-old minor who had seen the two women lure the boys as well as forensic doctors who performed post mortems on the bodies. The court heard that potassium manganate granule were forced into the boys' mouths. The court heard how the two boys were lured by the women from outside their school in Clairwood. A 13-year-old witness who gave testimony in camera through a child court intermediary, told the court how she saw the two women - one of them known to her from the Khayalitsha Informal Settlement - call the boys.

She went on to say that she and her brother and her reached the corner of Flower Road, where they stood to observe. She and Ngwayishe conspired to kill Njabulo and detailed how Ngwayishe held the boys hands while she forced him to drink poison. The boy fell to the ground and Ngwayishe threw him into the river.
