JOHANNESBURG - Four-year-old Bokgabo Poo has been laid to rest.
She was kidnapped, raped, murdered and mutilated earlier this year.
The family held off on her funeral for weeks as some of her body parts are still missing.
They pleaded with the man who is alleged to have raped and killed her, Ntokozo Zikhali, to return the body parts but he has been uncooperative.

Speaking at the funeral, family friend and spiritual advisor Father Themba Seya said South Africa must be brought to a standstill to stop the abuse.
"I think it's about time for us to stand up and move out of the churches and march and let this country come to standstill," he said.
Meanwhile, Deputy Minister of State Security Zizi Kodwa said law enforcement must play its part in fighting crime, but they can't do it all alone.
He said communities need to work together with government and law enforcement to fight crime in their communities.
Kodwa attended Poo's funeral and said it's unbelievable that a human being can do such a thing.
