Lester Kiewit from Good Morning Cape Town radio spoke to the father of Eva, Michael Tembo and then later to Susanna Kennedy.
Missing child's father account of the situation
Eva’s mum worked and lived in Carlos Rebelo’s house. Mr Rebelo would sometimes take Eva to school, but he didn’t always take her to school; he would sometimes take her to a park to play. Eva’s mum became aware of this and told Mr Rebelo she no longer wanted him to take her away from the house. A disagreement broke out between the two when Eva’s mum brought up this situation. Carlos Rebelo got angry, and a security guard intervened, and they ended up at a police station.

The police said Carlos must give Eva to her mother. But on 1 July, he took Eva from the Kensington house without permission. She has been missing ever since.
Eva has been spotted in Cape Town on two occasions.
“The police have said nothing. We are still waiting for them,” said Michael Tembo.
Kidnapper's biological daughter speaks out
Susanna Kennedy entered the programme and said she was Carlos Rebelo's biological daughter. She further divulged that Carlos would physically abuse her mom, and then she divorced him when Susan was two years old. Susan shared that she suffered sexual abuse from her father.
She said that he manipulated people physically, sexually and emotionally.
Susanna has been estranged from her father for many years.
