He said he has been left to care for their three children, with the assistance of his wife Susan. They even ask for assistance from their neighbours to help the children with their homework. He further said teachers at the children’s school are doing their best to help with the school work and visit the children on a regular basis to assess their school work. “The children are not at boarding school but we have been told that further assessment will be made to see if they can be moved to the school, “ Khanxa added. “These two people were always fighting and this became worse after her boyfriend was no longer working. I think it was a case of male ego because Botshau was the bread winner then, “ lamented Khanxa.
According to Khanxa, Botshau was employed at Kuke Bakery and she was responsible for her children and her boyfriend . “The couple has three children, two boys aged 15 and 11 and their 13 year-old sister. Since the mother passed on, life has been unbearable. It is fortunate that the Gantsi District Council came to our rescue immediately. These children have been registered under the orphans grant and they are now getting their monthly baskets,” said Khanxa. All three children attend school at Kuke Primary School.
