STRANGER GRABS GIRL (8), STUFFS HER INTO SACK, FLEES

MAHLANGATSHA – Residents of Mahlangatsha are asking themselves if a young girl of the area could have possibly escaped the clutches of a ritual murderer.

The eight-year-old Grade II pupil at Mahlangatsha Primary School was reportedly snatched off a pathway leading to her school early on Monday morning by a stranger, who stuffed her into a sack before disappearing into a nearby bush.

The culprit is alleged to have emerged from the thick vegetation surrounding the path while a group of schoolgirls were travelling from home to catch a bus to school, just before 6am.
The school is situated about 10km from the survivors homestead.

On a daily basis, the young girl,  together with other pupils from the area, travel about 1 km on a narrow path that cuts through a thicket to reach the bus stop, where they board their bus at 6am.

So as usual, on Monday morning, the young girl reportedly oined others and headed for the bus station. As the schoolgirls were walking down the path and minding their own business, a man suddenly emerged out of nowhere and charged at them.

Information gathered was that the man first tried to grab one of the girls but she fought back. With the initial target resisting, the man quickly pounced on the eight-year-old, who he managed to stuff into a sack before taking off.

Fortunately, the remaining girls were smart enough to raise the alarm, to which community members responded promptly and gave chase. Noting that he was being pursued, the man apparently got scared and let go of the sack, giving the young terrified girl a chance to escape. A witness said the man threw the bag on the ground and bolted towards a nearby forest.
