A family gathering turned into a tragedy when 2-year-old Lisulenkosi Lamula was found dead in a pit latrine at the Mkhazane village in Ulundi, KwaZulu-Natal, on Sunday.
Lisulenkosi disappeared while playing at the family homestead on Saturday. Amid the joyful chaos, his mother only realised he was missing later in the day, triggering an immediate and desperate search by the family and neighbours.
According to the Department of Social Development, the family’s efforts throughout the night were fruitless, until Sunday when someone using the toilet made the horrific discovery.Â
