‘If you hate children, what do you love?’ Panyaza Lesufi asks at funeral of slain Soweto boys

Drum majorettes, provincial government dignitaries, community members and a school choir are among the mourners who came to Jabavu Stadium to bid farewell to Nqobizitha Zulu, 5, and Tshiamo Rabanye, 6. They are due to be buried at the Olifantsvlei cemetery later on Friday morning.

Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi said he was disheartened and did not have any answers for the family and community. Referring to the country's high crime rate, he said: “We come to you limping and limping every day. On behalf of the government, we fail to explain the pain you are going through. We come to you with no explanations.

“If you hate children, what do you love? Even through wars and disasters, usually people would rather die than let their children die. It makes things difficult for us. Are we truly human beings?
