The family of murdered three-year-old Elsies River girl Courtney Pieters will bury their daughter this morning.
Hundreds of community members and supporters from across Cape Town have gathered at the family's Pluto Street home ahead of the funeral.
A large contingent of bikers have also joined mourners coming to pay their last respects to the little girl.
Earlier this week, Mortimer Saunders, a close family friend who rented a home in the Pieters home, was arrested for the child's rape and murder.
