IN NEED: NOTHINI PHOLOHOLO

The distraught and visibly distressed mother said her daughter, the youngest of her four children, has yet to receive her final farewell, because the family is having tremendous difficulties to pay for burial expenses.

"I am a single mother. I do not even have money to pay the mortuary," she said.

Pholoholo said the mortuary has requested a payment of R1000 for the release of the body or she will have to pay a storage fee.

The undertaker, she said, was not sympathetic towards her. He told her that she must "hurry with the payment as the area used for storage does not belong to her".

"I don't know where else to turn," Pholoholo said.

She will also need more money for the coffin and funeral arrangements.

She said the undertaker had urged her to try to get her daughter buried by Sunday.

"I appeal for help to bury my daughter ... anything that anyone can give me," she said.

sad the baby died but if you cant afford the funeral expenses how were you expecting to feed or clothe the baby? How were you going to educate the child? Stupid woman having children she cant afford to raise. The children of these selfish women suffer.

But I suppose the 5 million tax payers will have to pay for the 20 million lazy, breeding poor peolple.

Why would you allow yourself to have so many children when you knew you can't afford them? What happened to the man/men that fathered those kids and why no help from him/them?

And now you want us to help you, when you dug your own grave - go out and find yourself a job (even if you have to do laudry for your peers) and stop breeding, STUPID WOMAN!!!!!

How sad! I can't even imagine losing a child. How on earth do you cope with the thought that your little angel is in a fridge somewhere and you can't bury her??????

Is this a private mortuary or is it state owned? What is she going to do with the body after she paid the R1000.00?

Shame!!!!!

MARA LE WENA 4 children what happend to prevention or condoms, now you are stuck with this kind of situation, there are these cheap burial societies bo R50 or R30 per month, i think you are lazy and maybe this will be a lesson, and where are the fathers of these kids. I just feel for the child in the fridge because of her mother. PLEASE PLEASE stupid mother find yourself a job and stop asking help from us, we also have our own problems just like you (single mothers) mara we work so hard even if it has to be overtime just to provide and pay these kind of expenses, I dont feel sorry for you but for the deceased.nxa
