JOHANNESBURG - The family of one of the six children from Naledi, Soweto who died after eating poisonous snacks, has welcomed the toxicologist's findings.

The ingestion of organophosphate has been revealed as the cause of death.

Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi released the findings earlier on Monday.

Sathekge said, ''What they said is organophosphate, we don’t know what is that, not to say we’re not happy, we don’t know how it works or how did our children come into contact with this, we’re hurting." 

"I miss my child, even when I go to church, when I wake up, even now she’s gone because of this organophosphate.''
