Large funeral service for Daveyton toddler allegedly killed by his nanny

“We will miss you.” These were the words written on two floating balloons tied to a table placed near the coffin of Daveyton toddler Langelihle Mnguni at his funeral on Thursday.

Lihle’s body was found inside a storeroom at the home last Friday. According to his family, he had been gagged and strangled to death, allegedly by his nanny who had claimed to have been attacked by intruders. The nanny, who has since been charged for his murder, is currently behind bars pending court proceedings.

Dressed in black with blue ribbons tied to their garments, Lerato sobbed as she clutched Sihle’s hand as speaker after speaker took to the podium to offer words of comfort to the family. A large picture of the couple’s son was plastered on the podium.

The law must take its course
