A south African mum has abandoned her kids, moved in with her lover and left the kids to live on their own without caring how they take care of themselves. Worse still, the kids are minors.
According to DailySunSA, their mother, a 41-year-old woman allegedly immediately moved in with her new man and hasn’t returned since. Neighbour Gogo Ellie Skosana (62) said she realized the kids were living on their own when they kept coming to ask for food.
“Each time I asked why their mum had not cooked for them, they simply said she was away. I assumed she was out looking for work, but later I realized I had not seen her in her yard for about two months. “So I questioned the kids further.”
The 11-year-old child said his mum came with her new lover and took most of her things a long time ago and hadn’t returned since.He said his mum already had a newborn baby with her lover and believed that was why she abandoned them.
Gogo Ellie told Daily Sun:
“These kids have not attended school since last June. They don’t even have clinic cards or birth certificates. I am not related to them, but I could not sit back and watch them suffer like this. “So I took them in.”
Daily Sun tracked down the mum at her new lover’s home.
She claimed she loved her kids, but had to abandon them because she didn’t have much to offer them.
“I can’t even look for a job because my ID vanished last year,” she said.Social development spokesman Ronnie Masilela said kids should have shelter, and food and attend school.“A social worker will visit the kids and do an assessment to determine what steps should be taken,”
