‘Poots may be kaput, but no mother can be a kumata.’ We have been hearing and feeling this saying since childhood. A mother is ready to sacrifice everything for her children. She herself goes to bed hungry, but is ready to go to any extent to satisfy the hunger of her children. But today we are going to introduce you to a woman who sold her 8-month-old child on Facebook Marketplace in the greed of some money. Out of greed for a little money, this woman herself became a salesman. According to the Mirror report, just a week after selling the child, this woman living in Mabopane, South Africa suddenly had a change of heart. Now she is pleading Mamta that someone should return her son. However, the name of the woman has not been revealed.
The woman has been accused of child trafficking. It is said that the child was sold in the month of October. According to the claims made by the woman, he exchanged numbers with another woman and interacted with her on the social media site Facebook. After the conversation, both met at Soshanguve Plaza, a short distance from Pretoria, South Africa. There the woman handed over her 8-month-old innocent child to the woman, who then left in a taxi. Talking to South African website SNL 24, the woman told that due to facing difficult times financially, she sold her child to another woman. Now the woman is sad after losing her child and appealed to Mamata to say that she regrets her actions. I did all this out of desperation. I was struggling financially to raise my child. I am not well. I want my own child. I love my child.
This woman who sold her 8-month-old baby said that the woman who bought her son lives near Orange Farm in Johannesburg. The last time I spoke to him, I told him that I was afraid of being arrested. I want to tell that woman that what I did was wrong. I should not have taken that path. The woman also expressed regret and said, “I should have taken my child to social workers. I spent almost two weeks in jail and it is not a good place. There is no freedom in jail. I was eating twice a day.” At the same time, the woman’s 25-year-old boyfriend, resident of Soshanguve, insisted that the child was his. The woman did not have money to take care of the child. When this incident happened, I was also not living with her. I thought he had sent the child to his family.
Regarding this, South Africa’s Gauteng Police spokesperson Captain Tintswalo said, “A case of child trafficking was registered against the woman on October 19 and she was arrested on the same day. “After this, he was produced in the Ga-Rankuwa Magistrate Court on October 21.” North West National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Siwenthi Gunya disclosed that it has been alleged that the woman advertised her child for sale on Facebook Marketplace and another woman showed interest in buying the child. He took the child and promised to give the mother 1000 South African Rand (about Rs 4600) every month until she got back on her feet. But he did not pay the money and could not be traced.” However, the woman got bail from the court and the next hearing in this case will be in February 2025.
