A mother who is accused of selling her newborn child then killing a woman and stealing her baby was sent to the Sterkfontein Psychiatric Hospital on Monday for evaluation.
Nelisiwe Thwala, 29, is to spend the next month at the hospital following an order by the Johannesburg high court earlier this month.
Thwala, who had been on the run for three years, was finally arrested last year following an alleged murder and the sale of her own baby.But once her family found out, she was kicked out of the home in Zola, Soweto, and told to only return once she has the child. It was reported that Thwala and her boyfriend Xolani Mkhize allegedly went to Mkhize’s uncle who lived in the area with his three-month-old baby boy and his wife Nonhlakanipho Lukhozi.
