All my children are unemployed. But I\u2019d love to bury my child with dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So says bereaved KTC mother Nopinky Ndongeni, who caught between a rock and a hard place following the death of her 12-year-old daughter Asamila. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is now appealing for help from the public to bury her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asamila died in hospital on Monday 25 July after many years of battling ill-health. She is Ndongeni\u2019s third child to die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 54-year-old\u2019s surviving three children are all unemployed and unable to help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m staying with 11 children in this one-room shack,\u201d she pointed out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThree of them are mine and the other eight are my grandchildren. Several of them are sleeping on the floor because I don\u2019t have enough beds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this stage the matriarch doesn\u2019t know when her child will be buried. She said her father, who also lives in the area, is also unemployed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t have to be a cash. People can donate whatever they can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chair of the South African National Civics Organisation (Sanco) in Ward 38, Nkosikhona Mafenuka, urged local business people to come on board to assist the disadvantaged family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I heard about the family\u2019s situation last week I decided to inform the media to assist us. I was so touched when I visited the family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are appealing to anyone to donate whatever they have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs community members will continue trying by all means that child has a decent funeral that she deserved.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When <span><em>City Vision<\/em><\/span> visited the family on Monday 1 August there were a few neighbours and community leaders visiting. Ndongeni stated she and her family had no food, and one of the neighbours had bought bread for them to eat that morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>People who are able to assist can phone Nozuko Ntintili on 078 166 2655<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what to do.
