These innocent victims suff3r3d excruciating p@in and agony in the hands of an immoral [email protected] news first came to light after the parents of these minors could not locate them where they were playing. They then alerted the police who opened a missing persons file for investigation purposes. A search party for the victims intensified, however with no success,said Mdhluli
He added that on Sunday, officers at Phola police station received information that the victims had been found but both off them were r@ped.

Mdhluli said the Good Samaritan saw that they were in a state of shock and not dressed appropriately for the cold weather.
