Abandoned by parents, rejected by death

He says his mother left him with his father when he was two. But the father who had a wife and children never showed him any love. He says he was told that his mother, Tabona Ncube, is from Zimbabwe. His mother decided to go back to her country leaving him under the care of his stepmother and half siblings. 

He says his father was abusive and at one point he ran away from home to live elsewhere. He says his father made him sleep in a room with no roof, windows or a door. He grew up in Nlapkhwane near Masunga in the North East District where he says he underwent the harshest treatment from the people who were supposed to be his guardians.
