“I went to Solly and saw there was nothing I could do for him,” Ntwana continued. “I asked where my baby is and when Iminathi said he was still in the car I realised he had probably been shot too.”
She called for her nephew to bring a towel to wrap Avumile in so they could rush him to hospital.
But the toddler died before they left the house.
“That little one is innocent. I believe his spirit will show me something, it will reveal who was responsible for this.
“I am heartbroken. He (Solly) was a very good father, he was a good leader in the community and people respected him.”
Colleagues of Ntwana, who served as head of Theewaterskloof Municipality’s Housing Department, visited his grieving family to show their last respects, along with the TWK Mayor Alderman Kallie Papier, Deputy Mayor John Michels and Speaker Derick Appel.
Papier paid homage to Ntwana in a statement posted on Facebook, describing him as an integral member of the TWK Human Settlements Department.
“He was known for his humble demeanour, his sense of calm and his infectious laughter,” he said.
“He will be missed as a beloved colleague and will be remembered for his contribution to bettering our communities.”
Colonel André Traut, provincial police spokesperson, confirmed that to date no suspects had been arrested in connection with the double murder.
“The motive for the murders is yet to be determined,” he said. “Any person who can shed light on the matter is kindly requested to contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111.”
Pinkie’s message to those responsible for her husband and son’s deaths is: “Your day will come. God is not sleeping. Every dog get’s its day.”
