She was only 15 when they met.
A young girl, poor and desperate for affection. As a child, she knew nothing about love and little did she know that he wanted to take away her future.
They met in a nearby village and she, at least, fell in love. One night with him changed her life for the worst.
Tsakaninavo Makhuvele was so in love with a man that was twice her age that she never questioned anything just nurtured a dream filled head of a bright and loving future.
Makhuvele explains how this men promised her the whole world but she ended up with a baby in her arms and the man was nowhere to be found.
“The house I thought was his home appeared to be his friend’s house,”said Makhuvele.
She said the last time he saw him was when the baby was only 3 months old.
“He brought 3 packs of pamalat when I asked him about the nappies and where his real home was he just vanished,”she said.
By that time Makhuvele’s mother worked far away from home, she had no-one to look after her baby so she could go to school.
She remembers failing Grade 10 because she attended school only when he grandmother was around. Makhuvele had to make means that her child has clothes and all that she needs.
7 years latter her child has grown and the father is no-where to be found. She has, as yet been unable to complete her studies.
