I can 😭😭😭😭😭 relate to their pain ...my father went missing for 4 full years we searched everywhere mortuaries hospitals almost all over Jozi we opened a case at jeppe police station since we lived in bez valley but nothing since he was the bread winner we had to relocate to the western cape it's was super tough for our family until one day the Benoni police called the jeppe police to annouce that their missing person was buried by the gvt because his family wasnt found he was shot 6 times and his car was stolen one robber was found the announce it to my uncle and we came back to Jozi so that we could identify him but my mother couldn't bare the pain of seeing the photos and everything so our elders did it ....Yoh the pain of losing yo father just because of a car imagine my brother will never know how joyful and loving he was till this day my life was never the same again ..... depression hit me hard I couldn't even attend the hearing of the robber the found whatever sentence the gave him I didn't want to know he took away my father that little girl that I was still cries out everyday longing to see or hear from him I still believe and feel he never died 😭😭😭😭😭😭even if he did he never deserved to die that way he was my father my friend and protector no one is there to protect me now 😭😭😭😭

[@Skhonza]

Soo sorry to hear that dear. Phephisa!! Praying for healing kwiFamily yakho yonke. 🤗🕯

[@cbosjourney4733]

Ngxesi sthandwa, I’m so sorry I can only imagine your pain… may you find peace nd restoration

[@ipelengk9593]

I’m so sorry 😞😞💔💔💔

[@zanelemathonsi5474]

Strength and healing to you my honey... ♥️

[@MY6797A]

May God grant you and your family peace.... Am so sorry you are going through something like this. 💔

[@Charmaine_Nguse]

This one hit home💔. My mother was kidnapped 20 years ago til this day we haven’t got any trace. My grandma spent a year in Johannesburg searching for her. I just wish I could find her body so I could be at peace.

[@asanda.mkhize]

I'm so sorry this happened to you 🤍

[@doremi131]

Eish, South Africa maar. This human trafficking, our government keeps silent about things like this.

[@msm5887]

Dear God… You know where these kids are. I am asking you to MIRACULOUSLY BRING THEM BACK HOME TO THEIR LOVED ONES, in a way ONLY YOU CAN. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour Amen 🙏🏽

[@namisazulu1372]

Prayer doesn't work but money does...

[@BiancaLeesa]

Amen and amen

[@natashatigedi6033]

Amen my sister 😇🙌🏻

[@mamaj4548]

Amen

[@abegailfelix4518]

🙏 Amen

[@phindilemahlangu3103]

The police failed these families, I can't imagine how painful this experience is. Lesego's mother did what the police was supposed to do. What a heartbreaking story 💔. I hope they both find healing

[@hudihoodz]

Exactly!

[@tinyiko2949]

I pray for these two mothers. I can't imagine what they are going through 😭😭😭

[@hudihoodz]

I always watch true crime cases and stories. How I wish out SAPS could have the same dedication, passion and commitment as other countries. I mean , they had leads and suspects already! Most of the work was alredy done for them! Our justice system is always failing us! 😢

[@leratomaphothoane3243]

As a mother I cannot even imagine their pain. May GOD continue to give them strength

[@QueenQueen-ee4nx]

My uncle went missing in 1992 I was very young but I feel like my grandmother still feels the pain.I wonder if he is still alive.His name is Socrates Sibanda from Gwanda, Zimbabwe.I wish one day he comes home and meet his mom.

[@zanelemathonsi5474]

As a mother this is one hard episode to watch yho!!!

[@joycemsiska-chihana9010]

Eish absolutely.

[@zaneletriumph8228]

Very very hard..

[@cbosjourney4733]

Eish don’t mention that…

[@tammialevisnus4259]

Yes😢most definately 😥😥

[@nonjabulonxele4070]

I'm not a mother but I can't imagine how hard it would be if this happened to my nieces and nephews 😭

[@enduranceholdon4932]

Mbali’s Story Hurts. Cannot Imagine What She Went Through With That Animal Who Was Even Disowned By His Parent. Lesego’s Case Sounds Like That Of The Protea Guy Who Had His Girlfriend’s Parts In The Fridge-That Family Needs To Be Questioned And Taken To A Lie Detector Test.

[@nosihlematyeni7650]

For me it's how these mothers still go on, how? After so much pain and suffering? I cannot even begin to imagine how it must feel for them everyday, every moment they think of their kids. The most saddening part is how does one even begin to find closure? I'm torn, I just pray that God continues to give them strength.

[@oliviankosi6469]

Your pain is unimaginable.May you find healing and hold on to dear memories and opportunities you have shared with your beautiful children. Relebogile thank you for showing us the other side of the curtain. We just read statistics and not for second live in the real pain the affected parties carry every awakening day.

[@relebogilemabotja215]

Thank you for taking the time to listen to the stories of Zodwa and Mamikie

[@confidencevilakazi6924]

So sorry dear....people are cruel out there😢😢😢

[@saloshniejagathesan1577]

We are desperate for properly trained and educated police in this country. We need police to solve crimes, keep us safe and make us feel that we can rely on them. Most of the time they are taking the easy way out by checking cars, securing bribes instead of going after the real criminals

[@malehlohonolo8463]

Mxm, oho. Most police stations when you call them the call goes to voicemail- that says a lot about SAPS

[@xolingwane4070]

They should behave like Police in MEDICAL DETECTIVES/ FORENSIC FILES

[@onelembunye7552]

While watching this episode I thought of Amahke Thabethes mother and the pain it is to lose a child not knowing uyaphila or not😭

[@bettyndaba3283]

The lack of accountability/passion from the SAPS is disgusting

[@teshmula2750]

No mother deserve to feel this pain.😭

[@BiancaLeesa]

At this point naming and shaming is the way, call out the names of everyone involved in the justice system. Yes though it won't bring back the children but it will help in future for other people who are still yet to experience this. I'm so sorry for this.

[@zwanenompumelelo7915]

My 19 years daughter is being missing since 12/03/2022 last seen 12:45 pm..💔💔😭😭please pray for me I'm in darkness I don't know where she is please help me south african

[@goitsemangmolefe1549]

I am so sorry. I pray your daughter returns home safely ❤️. Sending you love and light. I will keep you in my prayers 🙏🏿

[@busisiwekhambula7895]

Go consult with a prophet, sangoma maybe there maybe a light as to where is she

[@zwanenompumelelo7915]

Please continue praying for me and my family we still in darkness we haven't find my daughter

[@ipelengk9593]

This was too painful. I pray to never need help from SAPS 😞💔

[@sisandanyuswa2453]

The incompetence of the SAPS is shocking! So They've been incompetent since since, it's nothing new!!??? Yho 💔 one thing they will do successfully is harass and shame women who open cases, any thing else is just vibes. We really are in trouble as a country, is there even a solution to this level of incompetence and negligence??

[@nthatimatswa1179]

This is just unimaginable. Praying for you bo mothers ♥️

[@sphelelem4800]

Eish...this is difficult to watch...The fact that a child can disappear in our country for years is mind blowing

[@sibahlengalo]

😭😭😭😭😭

[@afro_becky3632]

I can't even watch

[@nomsasibanda5877]

There is no justice for poor people, it's sad.may you find healing

[@sammie_khay2604]

It's painful because these parents never get to know what really happened to their children, I know how deep this cuts I recently have a brother who is missing and haven't been found my mom can't cope

[@iviweimthandazo3042]

This is so hard breaking. I pray no parent ever goes through what they are still going through. I am so sorry they have to go through it I pray God gives them the strength and peace to make it through it each day.

[@zinhlemakwakwa6580]

This so called "justice system" in South Africa has failed these mothers😭😭

[@gugukhumalo9313]

I pray for closure for both mommies. May God be so kind 🙏

[@nonoechibs2775]

Eish m touched, this story is every mom's worst nightmare

[@misst1869]

Our police officers are so relaxed yoh

[@sibahlengalo]

Tjo this is so painful 😭💔. I wish I could do something. Lord intervene 😭

[@nonkululekolushaba641]

This is so heart breaking. Sending love and healing to you mommies!!

[@mantelekhitsane8935]

How can someone scam a parents while thy are in a pain of not knowing where thier kids are?wow ppl can be something 🤔 💔

[@puseletso98]

My heart breaks for the parents ☹️🥺💔💔

[@tshidimokone6595]

The world we live in.💔💔💔

[@malehlohonolo8463]

SAPS tells the lady to wait 48hrs then after she waits they tell her to go do her own investigations🤦🏾‍♀️ "go ask around at the school to see if anyone has seen him" lol what a joke.

[@vhomakhadzi4845]

Yoh this is beyond heartbreaking💔. Every time I hear of missing people, I always think there were no leads and that’s why they haven’t been found BUT this showed me that our Justice system is broken and lazy. Each of these women had a lead, why was Sabelo not interrogated to find Lesego. Why was that guy not questioned on the whereabouts of Mbali? This is honestly unfair. I will pray for the women and their families. This breaks my heart because it makes me think of what Amahle Thabethe’s mother is going through

[@ziyanda6521]

Black people, we are on our own

[@nondumisobuthelezi3553]

I feel sorry for these parents, especially umama kaMbali. The police did her dirty. It's sad futhi ukungabi namali beause they could've hired a proper lawyer.

[@pointa2b388]

Eish i will watch later, this pain seem worse than losing a person due to death.at least you will console self by knowing where they are buried

[@relebogilemabotja215]

😢

[@molebohengmaphepha80]

SAPS is so disappointing, I am lost for words😞

[@kananelomolosioa6404]

This just made my heart soo heavy...

[@asanda.mkhize]

This thing of having to wait 24/48 hrs for the police to start searching for the missing person is ridiculous. As soon as it's reported, the police must be dispatched. Our justice system is a joke! 💔

[@TapiTTwala]

I know the first hand that the police does not give a f*ck.
