The police are currently interviewing the suspect about the whereabouts of little Bokgabo," said Masondo.
WORRIED ABOUT HER GRANDCHILD
Bogabo's grandmother, Refilwe Poo told Zimoja, that they haven't heard anything from the police. "We know that there was a suspect arrested but we were told by the community. But we will not be at peace until the police come to us and tell us if the suspect has confessed about Bogabo's whereabouts," she said. Poo said they have sleepless nights and worry if she's eating wherever she is. "I know she's confused and wondering where we are, I can only imagine her frustration. I wonder if they are treating her well, there's just so many scenarios playing in my head. I just want my bubbly grandchild back home," she said. She thanked the community for their support as well as all the taxi drivers that have plugged Bogabo on their taxis. "We've received a great deal of support and we don't feel alone, we appreciate everyone's time and effort.."
