Johannesburg ward councillor Juwairiya Kaldine says the death of the four-year-old girl from Eldorado Park has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
She was speaking to mourners at the funeral service of the child under way at the Don Mateman Hall in Eldorado Park, south of Johannesburg.
The child died after being physically and sexually assaulted, allegedly by her father.
