A TEENAGER BUTCHERED ON CHRISTMAS DAY. Her community is screaming for answers while police scramble in a frantic manhunt.
Linomtha Skeyi was just 16 years old. She was reported missing on Christmas Eve. Her body was found dumped in an open field in Makhanda on CHRISTMAS DAY—a discovery made not by police, but by a desperate volunteer searcher.
Official police statements are cold. “Preliminary observations indicated that she had sustained several wounds to her upper body,” said spokesperson Majola Nkohli. They talk of “maximum resources” and urge anyone with information to come forward. But where was the protection for Linomtha? Where is the justice NOW?
This is not an isolated tragedy. Look at the blood-soaked pattern. On the SAME DAY, in Limpopo, 15-year-old Xilaveko Suke was found dead in a room. Her father was later found hanging in nearby bushes. Two families destroyed. Two communities terrorized. All while the nation was meant to be celebrating.
The system is failing. The headlines are piling up—another missing soldier, bodies pulled from rivers—while the most vulnerable pay the price. Who is hunting these predators in our streets? Who is silencing the screams of our children?
The police have numbers to call. But the public is losing faith. Every hour that passes without an arrest is a victory for the monster who did this.
A child’s murder is now just another Christmas statistic. And the chilling question left hanging in the summer air is: WHO’S NEXT?
