It began after a sangoma told community members he had had a vision of Anothando's neighbour feeding the child.

Assaults on Petrus and Amunyela allegedly took place in front of uniformed police who intervened only when the Namibian community clashed with residents at about 9am on Thursday. Petrus was then taken to the holding cells at the Hout Bay police station. “Apparently there were four different sangomas approached, but the one who caused this whole thing is a sangoma who is a seer.

Jonas was allegedly targeted because his name is similar to “Johannes”, the name the sangoma gave for the person who took the child.
