Welcome to the Episode 39 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime. About the episode: A tale that although shocking has been all too often heard before. Caregivers who not only abuse their roles but fail to live up to them too. A little girl left to fend for herself. A system and society that failed her. 2 years old with an entire future ahead of her. 2 years old and dependent on those she was supposed to trust. 2 years and a life cut short.
