Clothes, boots and a bag containing dried warthog meat had also been discovered next to the scattered bones, will also undergo forensic analysis to determine whether they belonged to the missing Muyanga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is alleged that Muyanga disappeared after leaving home with two other young men, and that his mother had only been given a torch and a phone and told by the men who had been with him that her son might be somewhere in the bush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several months later, on 11 November 2026, Kaogo was allegedly informed by a cattle herder that he had found the remains of what could be her son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaogo, however, is questioning the herder who found the bones, as she states that he does not usually herd in that area. She also dismissed the suggestion that a leopard might have attacked the deceased, stating that \u201cLeopards do not scatter bones\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She further added that the area where the bones had been discovered had been searched by four police officers and a drone before the discovery, but nothing had been found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy spirit is telling me that my son\u2019s bones were discarded on Monday, and the cattle herder went to go pick them up there, because he was told. No matter how it is, and how hard it is, my son died a painful death. That area was already searched, there had been nothing there,\u201d Kaogo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CAPTION: Frieda Kaogo (66), the mother of Ovitoto man Siegfried Muyanga (36).
