A SOWETO woman will appear in the Protea Magistrate's Court today for allegedly neglecting her four young children.

The woman, 31, from Zola was arrested yesterday morning after she left her four children - aged one, two, four and eight - alone at her place.

Police spokesman Warrant Officer Kay Makhubele said a neighbour raised the alarm on Tuesday after she saw them outside the house naked in the cold.

Upon arrival, the police realised that the children were alone and started looking for the mother.

She was found in the company of man believed to be her boyfriend.
