7-month-old Inganathi
Mnyani died after her mother's ex-boyfriend, Zukile Nakupi, allegedly
flung her against the ceiling, walls and prepaid electricity meter of her
mother's Philippi home on Monday, January 25, killing her. (Photo: Family members carry her body from

Andisiwe and ex-boyfriend, Nakupi allegedly started arguing after she woke up to
feed the baby in the early hours of the morning. He reportedly jumped on Inganathi's body, despite
attempts from her seven-year-old sister to protect her. The infant died at the
scene.
Nakupi was on the run for four days before his arrest. He made his first appearance in the Athlone
Magistrate's Court on a murder charge on Monday. The State indicated it would
oppose bail.
As Nakupi descended the stairs to the court’s holding
cells, he turned to the gallery and asked: "Are you finished?".
Members of the public shook their heads at him in disgust.
Mourners at the funeral, many of whom were seated in the
street outside the family's home, described the accused as "disgusting for
hurting a little baby".
