According to Constantia Park residents, 9-year-old Boipelo Sesele’s decomposing body was found stuffed in a neighbour’s wardrobe, who had earlier helped in the search for the girl.

Johannesburg - Twelve days after 9-year-old Boipelo Sesele went missing, her tiny body was found stuffed in a neighbour’s wardrobe in Constantia Park, Kroonstad, in the Free State.

A neighbour next to Rasta’s shack, who opted for anonymity, described him as a “character” who didn’t spend much time in that part of the community but would rather go to the “old township” and would retreat to his shack at night, high on whatever he smoked. The man who had a bruised face and busted lip said: “They kept asking questions about what I knew about the killing and even though I kept explaining that I knew nothing, they kept beating me senselessly.

Two weeks ago, the Sunday Independent first reported on Boipelo’s disappearance where it was alleged that the Grade 4 pupil had been lured by a man to “look for change at the shops”. That was the last time she was seen, according to her 6-year-old friend who she was playing with at the time of her disappearance.

“He went up and down with us as we searched for her. I remember how we went into that very yard but didn’t check in the house or shack because nothing was suspicious,” said Thebe, adding that he believes Rasta was keeping tabs on their routes by attending their daily meetings. Boipelo’s mother Pena Sesele and her two grandmothers Moipone and Nketsing Sesele were grieving the death of their young child. “No mother ever dreams of burying their child and even while we searched for Boipelo, I had hope that she would come back to me. That I’ll be able to hold her and help her through the trauma of being lost for so long.
