One sweet toddler, Liyolatha, shared a lovely message to the sexual assault victim in a viral TikTok video:
“Hi, my name is Liyo. That man will be arrested by the police, okay? You will be okay. I’m going to be your friend.”
Known for her love of singing, the 3-year-old sang a song for the assaulted youngster, hoping to make her feel better.
Parent shared thoughts about case
Briefly News reached out to the toddler’s mother, Sihle Gqanabisa, who shared the now-viral video online. Gqanabisa explained why she had to join the fight to get justice for the Bergview College scholar:
“This is obviously a traumatic experience for a child to go through. She’s a girl, I have a girl child, and I can only imagine what the parents are going through. I have not been okay since the day I listened to the mother’s interview. It’s heartbreaking, I just hope this will not be one of those unsolved rape/murder cases in South Africa, and justice is served very soon.
“Like I said, I have been talking about the victim so much, so she asked who she was, and I tried to explain, but she obviously does not understand the whole thing. My daughter only knows that the victim got hurt by a certain man. I think she thinks she was beaten or something, but she is hurt. Liyo is the kind of child who does not want to see other people getting hurt. Now she keeps nagging me about seeing the victim.”
