Without thinking, Ndlovu tried to attack the accused, Ntokozo Zikhali but was stopped by law enforcement officials.

"It wasn’t my intention to cause all the chaos in court, a strange feeling came over me. I didn’t go to the court having planned what I did."

I kept shaking, my heart started beating faster, I was in a state where I felt that I am losing it, and the next moment I saw myself flying," said Ndlovu.

South Africans have rallied behind Poo's father, who is heavily saddened that his one-year-old son will never get to know his sister. Ndlovu is even more devastated that the accused killed his daughter while he was out on bail for allegedly raping a 9-year-old girl.

Ndlovu added that Zikhali showed no remorse and seemed boastful about what he did to his daughter. He further stated that the accused seemed to think he was untouchable as he has been missing court appearances for the matter he is facing.

Bokgabo Poo was a jolly child, says her father

Ndlovu says his daughter was a jolly little girl who loved to ask for sweets and money. He believes Zikhali could have easily persuaded her because he is known for carrying sweets and coins to give to little kids.

Poo had left the house to buy sweets with another little boy. The boy returned alone and told the family that Poo had left with an unknown man. CCTV footage from a nearby tavern confirmed the little boy's story.

Police are still looking for Bokgabo Poo's missing body parts

According to EWN, Zikhali is facing charges of rape, murder, and tampering with a corpse in relation to Poo's killing. Zikhali mutilated Poo's body and has not revealed where the rest of her body parts are.

Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi called on police officers to find her missing body parts and even stated that communities need more CCTVs installed because the case was cracked because of CCTV footage.
