“I know that I was nearly killed for these campaigns but I will never stop until these children are found. It pains me to even talk to their families because every time I check up on them they just cry.”

Rabotapi mentioned that the families want closure.

“I feel that the justice system is failing us and they should bring back the death penalty because they say that people must be given the second chance but are the families given the second chance to heal and find closure?

“We are not giving up on the justice system but let the justice system meet & engage with us because we can’t have Child Abduction and Human Trafficking on the rise.”

She said let’s find all these children that went missing because she still believes that Bongiwe and Vuyo are still alive.

“Parents should be aware of the whereabouts of their children and find stimulating ways to keep children away from the streets, joining book clubs or teach them how to read rather than going outside to play,” concluded Rabotapi.
