Morginah Malatjie, the grandmother of 8-year-old Makondo, told reporters outside the court that she and her family are still not coping following their loss.

She, however, remains optimistic that justice will prevail.

Meanwhile, Jabulani Mncina, the uncle of 6-year-old Mgcina, is unhappy that this matter is now being politicised by different political parties who were singing outside court.
