31 with seven kids, locked down for life. The production process is really going at 90 percent capacity.

I dont mean to judge you Keneilwe, but 7 kids at the age of 31? You know what I like the most about a bird is that before it even thinks of hatching eggs, it will start first by building a nest for its young. You should have learnt a lesson after the baby no 1 and used birth control. Or you are one of those typical township ladies who say contraceptives makes them ill, yet they still open their legs to every man who comes their way. There is no excuse for irresponsibility!

@ asaowe

Exactly! She is one of those gullible women who think having a baby will keep a man. Question is, why did she not learn a lesson after the first kid. When will she wake up and realise that these men are just after her honey-pot, after baby no 10?

One woman, 7 kids and she still has at least 10 years of fertility left.

Lord help us and my tax money going towards putting a roof over your heads and money in your pocket.

Gogo, you sat back and watched this happen? Now you're spending your twilight years rummaging through the rubbish heap instead of rocking in chair on your stoep watching the world go by.

It does not help to take our eyes of the bigger picture. The issue here is not about how many babies this woman has. It is about the inefficiency of our crucial public admnistrative systems. It is also about strife and poverty that is faced by many communities in our democartic country. This is the tip of the iceberg of the challenges faced by nay in SA.

At least she did not abort pregnancies. Congratulations on her babies. I think she should be grateful of her viable fertility. There are so many men and women who wish they could have as many children as she has. Some are shooting blanks and some have depleted their eggs - it is asd.

I hope a good samaritan reads the story and gives Keneilewe a job to enable her to look after her children. Perhaps she must also now consider rigid family planning.

From reading the article I gather she has never been employed before and she has no shame in saying the kids will now get social grants. Sometimes I wonder if some people should not be sterilized ...

Nxa sies! These are the reasons why SA blacks are labelled lazy and uneducated by whites and African foreigners. Moer, she makes me sick, thinking her life will be smooth if she relies on social welfare grant with many kids at her age. We pay tax in this banana republic and our Gov gives nothing at the end.

Has she ever heard of contraceptives or when she has sex she does for the purpose it was meant for, making children .i wonder how old she was when she lost her virginity that is if she was ever a virgin .
