“The real painful side is the two-year-old that has lost both mother and father,” said Cele in an interview with eNCA, emphasising the emotional and psychological trauma the child will face.

Call for Compassion

Cele condemned the spread of the graphic video online, urging South Africans to exercise compassion. “It is a very tough story, but what is even worse is what happened to social media sharing those images and details,” he said.

He called for restraint, asking the public to hold back from circulating harmful content. “Maybe it could be a good call to South Africans at the present moment to hold back on those matters and just know that two people died. Wait until we know what really happened.”
