Girl (9) was mutilated while alive

TOP Gauteng cop Happy Vilankulu has told the Alberton magistrate's court how a 9-year-old girl was pinned down and had her private parts removed while she was still alive

Vilankulu was testifying in the murder case against Katlehong bishop Monde Tokwe, Nolofefe Magasane, Fundisile Sidumo and Vusi Mofokeng.

The state alleges that Tokwe and his wife Magasane consulted Mofokeng, an inyanga from KwaZulu-Natal, when they started losing church members at their Eden Church. Mofokeng allegedly told them to get human body parts that she would mix with muti to help bring back churchgoers.

"Accused number 2 (Magasane) sat on top of Yonela Skweyiya and removed her vagina using a razor blade. Then the husband used the blade to remove the child's eyes, ears and fingers ..." Vilankulu said.

He said the couple and Sidumo had kidnapped Yonela.

Vilankulu said Tokwe and his wife confessed to him during their arrest.
