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.

China speaks on the latest issue between Nigeria and the United States. After Donald Trump declared plans to take action against what he called the “Christian genocide” in Nigeria, many have reacted and shared their opinions.
China expressed disagreement with Trump’s statement, saying that religion is not a strong reason to interfere in another country’s internal affairs.
The spokesperson representing China stated that the country “firmly opposes any nation using religion or human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs or threaten them with sanctions or force.”
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, spoke on Donald Trump’s threat to Nigeria regarding taking care of the Christian genocide.
The minister appeared as a guest on a TV program and spoke on the current situation, stating that politics has been taken too far.
The minister questioned the claims made, saying “It is an indictment that a government I am serving, anybody will allege that that government is supporting genocide, killing of Christians and I am still in that government.
This is politics taken too far. The Inspector General of Police is a Christian, the Director General of the Department of State Services is a Christian, the Chief of Defence (Staff) is a Christian.
Tell me how any right-thinking person will think that we will sit in a government and support the killing of our own people?”
