BOKGABO Poo's mum lit a white candle and placed it in front of her photo on Friday, 12 January.

It was the little angel's 6th birthday.

Bokgabo was kidnapped on Sunday, 10 October 2021 and later, her body was found mutilated with some of her body parts missing at an open veld in Wattville, Ekurhuleni.

The suspect who was at the time alleged to have been seen leaving with her at Masoleng park in Wattville was bust.

Her parents and the nation were shocked and disappointed, after the court found the accused Ntokozo Zikhali not linked to the murder of Bokgabo.

He was, howeve,r sentenced to life for the rape of a nine-year-old girl, which he committed in another case.

Tsholofelo said she still prayed her daughter would one day receive justice.

"I still want the person who killed my daughter to be found and pay for what he did to her," she said.

Bokgabo's father Irvin Ndlovu visited her grave on Friday, 12 January and said he would keep remembering her for a lifetime.

He's also praying for justice.

Community leader and family friend, Charmaine Vilane said on the day Bokgabo Poo went missing, she came to visit her with her other little friends, but she wasn't home.

"I still wish I could have been home at the time, maybe that could have spared her life," she said. 

Captain Nelda Sekgobela of Ekurhuleni district police said Zikhali was initially charged with kidnapping, murder, violation of corpse and defeating ends of justice after Bokgabo was kidnapped.
