  • I HELD MY MOTHER in MY ARMS AS SHE TOOK HER LAST BREATH” Everson Luhanga
    Thursday 25th February 2021, 0145 Real News. Scrolla.Africa “I HELD MY MOTHER IN MY ARMS AS SHE TOOK HER LAST BREATH” Everson Luhanga When Sfiso Chakwane heard the deafening gunshots in their crowded shack, he covered himself with his blanket, praying that the bullets would not strike him or any of his family members. But later, after the robbers had gone, Sfiso checked on his parents. What he found was as bad as he could ever have imagined. He said his father had been shot and was lying dead in the bed. “My mom showed signs of life. She was soaked in blood. I took her out of the bed and held her in my arms. I was hoping the paramedics would find her still breathing and would save her,” he said. “But as I waited for the officials to arrive, my mother took her last breath as I held her in my arms.” Seventeen-year-old Sfiso told Scrolla.Africa from the one- roomed shack in Alexandra, Joburg where his parents had died in the early hours of Tuesday morning, that he was sleeping on the ground when the robbers arrived earlier that night. His mother, Yvonne Ndlovu, a domestic worker, and her husband Zeph Ntebane, a painter, were sleeping on the bed along with Sfiso’s siblings aged 14 and 10. The robbers broke the burglar bars and rushed into the shack. They shot Yvonne and fired three shots at her husband. Then before leaving, the man who had pulled the trigger lifted the blanket and spoke to Sfiso.
