Abongile
Nojahi, the unemployed mother claims she had let her 17-year-old
neighbour, Zanele Mchunu “borrow” her son on Saturday and since then she
hasn’t set her eyes on her child nor the neighbour whose phone has been
out of reach.
“This is so hard. I don’t sleep at night because I just lie awake and worry about where he is‚”Abongile said.
Narrating the sad occurrence to Times Live, the distraught mother said:
‘She
came to my house and asked if she could borrow my baby and I said that
was fine. She said she would come back. I gave her my baby and by the
time Sunday came‚ she had never come back‚” she said.
Abongile
said she felt comfortable leaving her child with her friend‚ and did not
find the request strange or had any reason to suspect that she would
make such move.
“She often looks after him‚ so it was normal to me. I have known her for a year and she is my neighbour.’
