Zinhle Mdletshe, 30, struggled to hold back her tears as she detailed how her baby was taken from her at the weekend.The incident is said to be linked to a drunken brawl."I cannot sleep. I cannot eat properly, I am utterly devastated," Zinhle Mdletshe told News24 as she looked at pictures of her missing two-month-old baby.
However, when the banging on the door got louder and the men threatened to kick the door down, her 32-year-old brother, Johnny, opened the door. "They claimed that they had already visited my sister and she had informed them that my nephew was with us."Mdletshe said CCTV footage from the tavern would later prove that her nephew was never there.She said the men refused to reason with her and Johnny.
Mdletshe was speaking from a relative's home, saying that she was yet to summon the strength to go back to a place where she had"experienced the greatest trauma" of her life. Most of the residents live in state-sponsored, low-cost houses, with one-lane roads in a densely populated community.
