Hlaluminathi Daki (3), who lived with his family at BS section, went missing on Tuesday 24 September, and his half-naked body was discovered in a nearby pond on Wednesday 2 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His father, Lizo Pelu, on Tuesday 8 October, described how hard he was taking his little boy\u2019s tragic end. Moreover, he faced the mammoth burden of burying him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know where to start. We have nothing. Tygerberg Hospital is charging us R1 800 for conducting a DNA test on my son. We don\u2019t have it and don\u2019t know where we\u2019re going to get it. And we have to plan the funeral.\u201d What\u2019s more, Pelu said, the mortuary refused to let them view their son\u2019s body because of the state it was in. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said he and his partner were both unemployed, surviving on odd jobs and child-support grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur plan is to bury my son here in Cape Town. All I wish for is to see my son have a decent burial like everybody else. I\u2019m so heartbroken. Hlaluminathi was the only child I had with my girlfriend. I\u2019m shattered.\u201d Pelu added that people could assist with whatever they had, and it didn\u2019t have to be cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_9cd962fa\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"crime \" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12266\/0da39240addb4096a4adf54f9b31d3cf.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/b0a1d2651f5e404997f9281c2c5c3bad.jpeg\" title=\"Hlaluminathi Daki disappeared on Heritage day.
