@Ndhandhazi our people must stopping making children....we have more people getting grant than working because the government is to generous. Go and have a look how our towns look like when it is pension day and when it is official salary day for hardworking people it is a disgrace. Over weekends the taverns are full of these youngsters. They just demand demand demand instead of working they to damn lazy.

@LAC. ' our people must stopping making children'. This article is about orphans. Must people stop making children because of the possibility that they might die?

@LAC - 100% ON POINT

@maditaba- If you read her comment correctly you would understand what she meant. And "YES" people should plan before having a baby to decrease situations like these.


About 5.5 million children are cared for by relatives even if their mother is still alive, And yet the mother still goes and have babies and collect "Micheal Jackson"( grants) Its insane

Yet most people cry foul but their do it unto themselves times change ,things cant stay the same SSo people should change their perspective of life altogether
