The story of Msindisi Phike is one that continues to haunt South Africa. A talented photographer, music composer, and mechanical engineering student, his disappearance and death have raised troubling questions that remain unanswered years later.

Msindisi went missing in April 2020, at the height of South Africa’s strict COVID-19 lockdown. Several months later, a decomposed body believed to be his was discovered on the outskirts of Bloemfontein. What followed was a deeply unsettling series of failures — missing DNA results, prolonged police inaction, and a pauper burial conducted without the knowledge or consent of his family.

Now, six years on in 2026, Msindisi’s family is preparing to exhume his remains in an effort to lay him to rest with dignity and finally uncover the truth about his death. Beyond one family’s pain, this case sheds light on broader issues surrounding pauper burials in South Africa, the treatment of so-called “unclaimed” bodies, and the cracks in a system meant to protect the dead and the grieving.
