Almost a month after police promised to find the killers of little Mutshidzi Ramanyimi of Tshilungoma, no one has been arrested in connection with the case.

This has angered the community, who recently marched to the Thohoyandou police station and handed over a memorandum of their grievances to the MEC for Safety, Security and Liaison, Florence Radzilani, and Limpopo police commissioner Lt General Simon Mpembe.

The tiny girl from Tshilungoma outside Thohoyandou went missing on March 1 and her body was found seven days later. Several parts of her body were missing.

The enraged community bayed for the blood of five people in the village whom they suspected of being the muti merchants who had cut off the girl's parts for muti.

During the funeral of the slain child, Radzilani promised that no stone would be left unturned in the hunt for the suspects in the case. Seeing that no one has been arrested so far, the whole of the Tshilungoma community marched to the police station.

The march was organised by the ANC Women’s League's Mutsindo Branch. It started with a prayer service at the spot where little Mutshidzi Ramanyimi was found murdered.

The marchers, singing freedom songs, marched for nearly 10km from the spot to the Thohoyandou police station, where they handed over a memorandum of their grievances. Their list includes that the killing be  investigated speedily, the urgent arrest of the suspects before a recurring of the incident, and that no bail be granted to the culprits involved in the ritual killings or any other violent crimes committed against women and children.

They also demanded that those found guilty of the murder of the little Mutshidzi be harshly sentenced.

The community also appealed for high police visibility and that parole not be considered for those culprits.
