It is almost three years later and police have still made no arrests in the suspected murder of a nine-year-old Mamelodi East girl.
The little girl, Zinhle Lizzy Ndala, went missing on 4 January 2015 after playing with some friends outside.
Her decomposed body was found several weeks later in a storm-water drain next to Rethabile sports grounds, a few blocks from her home.
The police could only confirm that it was actually Zinhle’s body after the post-mortem examination.
