Man Kidnaps and Kills Girlfriend’s Son on Father’s Day in South Africa
On Father’s Day, a 35-year-old man named Siyanda Magagu kidnapped his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son, Anganam Magxwalisa, and hung him from a tree in Xholora township, Stutterheim, in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Eastern Cape NPA spokesperson Luxolo Tyali reported that Magagu appeared at the Stutterheim Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, facing charges of kidnapping and murder. He has been remanded in custody.
The incident allegedly took place after Magagu argued with the child’s mother. He took the child from his 13-year-old cousin, claiming he was going to buy him sweets at a local spaza shop. According to family spokesperson Babalwa Goroleki, Magagu had been part of Anganam’s life since he was two months old.
“We are deeply shocked,” said Goroleki. “We never thought he would do something like this. He loved him like his own. We just don’t understand what could have possessed him to do something like this.”
Provincial police spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Siphokazi Mawisa said the mother contacted the police to report Anganam missing.
His body was found hanging from a tree a few hours later. Magagu, a taxi driver, was arrested early on Sunday morning.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
