The mother of a young boy is left shuttered after her son was found dead in the bushes. This came after the son went missing. He was kidnapped and kidnappers called demanding a certain amount of money. Will there ever be a day that passes without hearing that there was a person who is missing or who was killed in South Africa? It seems like the level of crime is growing deeper each day.

Children are being kidnapped every day, and one thing is for sure is that they are not just being kidnapped; it is all about some. Some kidnappers kidnap so that they can blackmail the family and demand ransoms so that they can return the victim. Just like what happened in the story of the Moti brothers, their kidnapper allegedly walked away with millions of ransoms. That’s one of the reasons why today many people are being kidnapped.

Following that, there is a very touching story of a boy who was killed because his mother didn’t have money for a ransom. On September 27th, the body of Lukhololwam Mkontwana, an eight-year-old boy from Nyanga in Cape Town, was found. He had been missing since September 23. The kidnappers called Lukhololwam’s mother and demanded ransom money. However, Lukhololwam’s mother did not have the money that they wanted. His body was located in a bush after it had been there for some time. There has not been a single person taken into custody at this time.

OPINION:

This young boy died for something that he knew nothing about. If police don’t use this case as an example that kidnappers will never get away, kidnappings will rise because after seeing this story, parents will have cold feet and pay any amount for the safe return of their children. Some people are heartless. How does one kill such a young kid? To my people out there, please pray for the safety of your children because already the law is failing us. Only God can protect us.
