JOHANNESBURG - Justice may not have prevailed for little Bokgabo Poo, but that does not mean her alleged killer will not see the inside of a jail cell.

Days after Ntokozo Zikhali was acquitted of the mutilation and murder of four-year-old Bokgabo, the convicted criminal was sentenced to life imprisonment for the kidnapping and sexual assault of another nine-year-old girl, eNCA reported.

While Bokgabo's mother has expressed gratitude that the nine-year-old girl received justice, she cannot help that her little girl was cheated.

Speaking to Newsroom Afrika, Tsholofelo Poo demanded justice for her daughter’s brutal mother.

Poo said:

“The justice system really has failed Bokgabo, and not only that, it has failed the entire nation. All the kids in Wattville have become scared again when they were trying to find hope that one day they would be free and would be able to play.

Community marches alongside Bokgabo Poo’s parents after alleged killer was acquitted due to lack of evidence

In an earlier story, Briefly News reported the Wattville community in Ekurhuleni has taken to the streets in protest after four-year-old Bokgabo Poo's alleged kidnapper and killer was set free.

Ntokozo Zikhali was acquitted of the charges after the Pretoria High Court sitting in Benoni stated that there was insufficient evidence linking him to the murder of the young girl, reports JacarandaFM.

On Thursday, 10 August, community members came out in their numbers and marched alongside the little girl's parents, demanding that the police find and arrest her real killer.
