Five days after she went missing, 5-year-old Anovuyo Ndamase\u2019s mutilated body was found wrapped in a plastic bag a stone\u2019s throw from her Khayelitsha house.<\/p>\n
Missing Children SA spokeswoman Nicky Rheeder confirmed that black children go unattended most of the time. Rheeder said: \u201cSome people who grew up in a culture where neighbours and relatives would watch over a young child find it difficult to believe life is not as safe now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anovuyo\u2019s body was found behind a shack on Thursday morning. She was last seen at about 6pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n
A 32-year-old man was arrested hours after the gruesome discovery, which had followed days of house-to-house searches by Enkanini residents.<\/p>\n
Anovuyo was found 25m from her home shortly before refuse was to be collected in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnovuyo was found by a resident. He was coming from work when he saw a blue plastic bag in the middle of a walkway and he wanted to put in on the side of the road to be collected.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said he realised it was heavy and there was something unusual inside. After he found it was Anovuyo\u2019s body, he called for help,\u201d Khothuka said. She said Anovuyo\u2019s distraught parents were taken for counselling. \u201cHer dress and underwear had blood. What I saw is something that will be in my mind for a very long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
