A 50-year-old sangoma who operates at the Vereeniging taxi rank has been arrested for the alleged murder of two-year-old Kutlwano Shalaba. The body of Shalaba was found in a shallow grave at an abandoned mine near Randfontein, west of Johannesburg. Shalaba from Boipatong in Vaal went missing in November last year.
According to sources, the traditional healer took officers to the body. A postmortem will be conducted at the Carletonville mortuary to determine the cause of death.
His mother Keneiwe Shalaba reported he was snatched from her by unknown men in a silver-grey vehicle.
