Six-year-old Stacey Adams did not need many prayers for her sins to be forgiven, because she did nothing wrong, Moulana Toyer Leak said after her funeral prayers at the Al-Masjiduth Thaalith Mosque in Mitchells Plain on Tuesday.
He said the way the little girl died was terrible. Stacy was found in a shallow grave after she disappeared from home.
“But we were honoured to have made salaah (prayers) for a person who was sinless,” said Leak.
“She did not know what happened to her, she did not know why it was happening.”
He said he hoped that the person who killed her would repent and warned parents to be vigilant with their children, especially during the school holidays, to protect them from predators.
Stacy was found dead in nearby De Larey Street in Eastridge on Sunday, in her first grave – a shallow hole dug next to a Wendy house on the property her mother Stacey-Lee lived on with her boyfriend. Police have not revealed how she died and this could emerge during the first appearance of a suspect in the Mitchells Plain Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
He is understood to be the mother’s boyfriend and the couple apparently had apparently had a row on Friday night. He is expected to be charged with murder.
The child lived with her grandmother Laeeqah Adams across the road but shuttled between the properties, less than 100m from each other.
There was so much anger over her death that the house police were questioning the suspect in was petrol bombed. On Monday one of the two Wendy houses on the property where she was found dead was tipped over. It was later broken down by angry locals.
Western Cape safety MEC Dan Plato said outside the mourners’ house that the girl may even have been raped.
Volunteers from the Mitchells Plain Crisis Forum (MPCF), the Western Cape safety department’s Walking Bus, which accompanies children to school and back on foot, and other community organisations held hands and formed a protective ring around the front gate to give the family privacy as they said their final goodbyes in Stacey’s grandmother’s lounge, in accordance with Muslim rites.
The sounds of prayer drifted outside as adults and children waited to walk with her body to the mosque in nearby Beacon Valley.
“We are tired of all our children being murdered,” said MPCF police liaison officer Denise Deelman.
The forum was borne out of a regular need for search parties to find missing children, among them Courtney Pieters, Rene Roman and Stacha Arends.
MPCF secretary Faizel Brown said perpetrators such as Stacey’s killer should be removed from society for good.
However, he implored communities not to touch crime scenes in future, no matter how angry they were, to make sure no evidence was destroyed and that the perpetrator had no chance of escaping justice.
After prayers at Stacey’s grandmother’s house, she was carried aloft down the roads of Eastridge and across fields until she reached the mosque.
After the ceremony, the Moulana again urged parents to take care of their children because there were people who preyed on them.
“Wherever they walk, they are not safe,” he said.
He said the government was failing society, and suggested that it might be time to bring back the gallows.
“The punishment (jail) is like going into a holiday inn,” he said.
Meanwhile, when Police Minister Bheki Cele visited the home amid a fraught atmosphere on Monday, he said it was believed that the perpetrator was high on drugs, but this needed to be validated.

Social development MEC Albert Fritz was among those who offered condolences on Monday, and then on Tuesday conducted a walkabout with social workers and NGOs in Westridge, also in Mitchells Plain, to drop off pamphlets on how to get into a drug rehabilitation programme if necessary.
He said the department had treatment facilities and worked closely with NGOs to help wean people off drugs, and to keep them off.
He urged anybody in need to contact one of their centres.

Cape Town – It appears a foregone conclusion that the Western Province Rugby Union (WPRU) will move its headquarters from Newlands to the Cape Town Stadium.
Recent reports indicated that last Saturday’s Test between South Africa and England was the last one to be staged at Newlands.
WPRU president Thelo Wakefield responded to the reports by saying they first needed to talk to the clubs “before anything can be stated as a matter of fact”.
Wakefield on Tuesday told Netwerk24 that the union had held an “information session” with the clubs on Monday night.
Wakefield said the clubs were satisfied that they were “busy with a good thing”.
“If we want to develop a world class union then we also need world class facilities and offer our supporters a world class experience,” he added.
Wakefield refrained from saying when the move would officially be announced and said a few things still needed to be clarified with the City of Cape Town.
READ: No Test rugby for Cape Town Stadium in 2019
Newlands, nor the Cape Town Stadium for that matter, will not host a Test in 2019 with no mid-year internationals scheduled in a Rugby World Cup year. In addition, the Rugby Championship will once again revert to its shortened version.
Seeing as in the last World Cup year (2015) the Springboks played two home Tests (New Zealand and Argentina) and only one away (Australia), it can assumed that in 2019 the Boks will be home against the Wallabies and away to both the All Blacks and Pumas.
Springboks fans need no reminding that the national side lost all three Rugby Championship matches in 2015, finishing bottom of the standings as Australia emerged victorious.
There’s little chance that lone home Test against Australia, nor a hastily arranged second fixture against Argentina (as it was back in 2015), will be played in Cape Town.
In October last year, Wakefield admitted that WP would move to Cape Town Stadium in future.
He called it a “business decision”.
“I know there are emotions involved, but in the end that does not pay the bills. It is inevitable that we move … If our vision is to be the leading union in the world, we must also have world-class facilities,” Wakefield was quoted as saying.
The WPRU’s intention to get the ball rolling comes after recently announced plans to seize property belonging to the WPRU if the union does not pay back a loan in access of R44 million by July 6.
WP’s business arm was placed in final liquidation by the Western Cape High court in 2016 after the union was slapped with an R276 million lawsuit by Aerios for reneging on an advertising rights contract with the company.
Aerios recently confirmed it would challenge the WP’s liquidation in court while it planned to proceed with suing the union for breach of contract.
An astonishing 82% of Cape Town households already in the grip of stringent water restrictions said they would be willing to save even more water – but only under certain circumstance, a survey has revealed.
The two most commonly cited circumstances were if the government were to “make more effort to solve the drought” problem (48%) and if householders had better water-saving technology in their homes (48%).
The preliminary results of the survey, conducted by the non-profit Global Water Leaders Group, were presented at the Water Institute of South Africa 2018 international conference in Cape Town by the organisation’s secretary general, Samantha Yates.
Yates said the response from Capetonians – that they were prepared to save even more water than they already were – had been surprising.
“My first reaction was: ‘What more can you save on 50 litres a person a day?’ I think it is a really encouraging result,” Yates said.
The third most commonly cited reason for saving more (28%) was if water bills increased with increased consumption.
Climate change of most concern
Yates said the survey indicated that most households believed in paying for water services (86%).
When asked if anything would make them pay more for water, 64% said no and 36% said yes.
“Of the 36% of households that would consider paying more for water, the major driving factors were the assurance of water cleanliness (48%), and if the water provider was ‘better at looking after the environment (42%),” Yates said.
Some of the reasons for raising the issue of water cleanliness, she said, were proposals to reuse Cape Town’s treated waste water and hoaxes disseminated via WhatsApp during the height of the drought.
The survey asked respondents what in their opinion was the main cause of the Cape Town drought, offering them a choice of eight causes. Most chose climate change (36%), followed by the authorities’ late investment in drought-resistant water sources (34%). Other reasons selected were population growth (10%), corruption that undermined investment (4%), limited government resources and capacity (4%), pipe leaks (2%), water misallocation (2%), and low voluntary household action (2%). Six percent listed “other” reasons.
Yates said one of the main messages to come out of the household survey was the extent to which Capetonians were engaged with the water issue – yet they were still thirsty for more information.
Communication and infrastructure
“Households were very proud of their efforts – and so they should be because they pushed back Day Zero to 2019.
“But now is the time to change the community mindset from crisis mode to long-term solutions. The survey showed that a lot of people are willing to save more water, and some even willing to pay more under the right circumstances,” Yates said.
The success of doing this depended on the ability of the authorities to communicate the issue in a creative way, she said.
“It’s a combination of effective communication and infrastructure.”
Some cities had opted to introduce humour to communicate information.
“One campaign about reusing sewage effluent as a water source had the slogan: ‘Your number 2 is my number 1’.”
She said as the results were preliminary she did not yet have the number of respondents that had taken part in the survey.
Yates said the Global Water Leaders Group was willing to share its results with anyone interested, including the City of Cape Town or other authorities.
“Our purpose is altruistic. We want to connect cities on water issues so that they don’t reinvent the wheel.”
