A 35-year-old man, Siyanda Magagu, has been charged with kidnapping and murder in the tragic death of his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son, Anganam Magxwalisa, in Xholora, Stutterheim, Eastern Cape, South Africa. According to reports, Magagu had taken Anganam from his 13-year-old cousin under the pretext of buying sweets after an argument with the child’s mother. The child’s body was later found hanging from a tree, leading to Magagu’s arrest on Sunday morning. Anganam’s family, represented by Babalwa Goroleki, expressed their shock and confusion, describing Magagu as a loving figure in the boy’s life. Eastern Cape NPA spokesperson Luxolo Tyali confirmed that Magagu appeared in court on June 18, 2024. Provincial police spokesperson Lt. Col. Siphokazi Mawisa noted that the mother had alerted authorities about Anganam’s disappearance, culminating in the grim discovery and subsequent arrest. The community remains in disbelief over the heartbreaking incident.
