I am just a mother, not a witch

About six years ago in South Africa a mother did the unthinkable. Fed up with her delinquent son, one early morning when the son was still sleeping, from another night of heavy drinking, she crept to his room then ended his life. In court she said she said she was fed up; it’s her story and to this day she is sticking to it.

Quizzed further by journalists after being acquitted, with tears in her eyes she said she was simply saving her son  from his demons.

Through it all, she still mourned her son. Any woman who has ever been to a maternity ward needs no reminder of what goes on in there, even why they went there in the first place.  It doesn’t end there, once you are home with your bundle, this marks the beginning of a life time journey, a bumpy and long road. As a parent, there are times where you find yourself in deep thought, where the realisation that you will forever be stuck with your children through good even bad times, hits you.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
