Her father is happy things are back to normal. “She is adjusting well after the ordeal she went through. She has not been able to remember what happened before she went missing. She is back at school with other children,” said Mr Samuel Radebe, Luyanda’s father. He said Luyanda spends more time indoors since her return home.
“We are happy to be with her. It is something we have come to appreciate,” said Mr Radebe.
