Happy Sindane
Abbey Mzayiya was a South African man known for claiming to be a white boy kidnapped by black people. He was raised in the village of Tweefontein, in KwaMhlanga where he alleged he was mistreated, half-starved, and forced to live in poor conditions. He appealed to his supposed biological parents to come forward and reclaim him.
Sindane made headlines in May 2003 at the age of 16 when he laid a kidnapping case at the Bronkhorstspruit police station and reported being someone who was stolen from white parents as a toddler by a family domestic worker.
The story ended with an enquiry and a DNA test report in July 2003 that found Sindane was in fact the son of a black woman, Rina Mzayiya, who had died, and that his father was probably Henry Nick, a white man.
Sindane was of mixed-race and spoke Ndebele. He was raised by Rina's friend, Betty Sindane and her father Koos Sindane, his "grandfather", in KwaMhlanga.
He died in Tweefontein on 1 April 2013 after being stoned to death
