IT’S EVERY nanny’s worst nightmare.
That decision that leads to the murder of a child in your care!
BabY Mbalenhle Ngwenya was having a BAD DAY ON SUNDAY AND WOULDN’T STOP CRYING.
But it angered the nanny’s boyfriend.
“He told us he wanted the baby’s nanny to make her stop crying,” said Sergeant Harry Manaka of Duduza Police Station near Nigel, in Gauteng.
The woman apparently left the baby with the boyfriend while she went to make juice for the baby.
And that’s when the unthinkable happened.
“He took a garden hoe and hacked the child,” said the sergeant.
When the nanny came back, she found the child lying on the floor with a gash in her head.
Neighbours who had heard the baby screaming came out to find the baby lying motionless on the floor.
Residents of Coolbreeze, Duduza, moered the man – but cops arrived in time to save him.
The suspect has been arrested and is facing a murder charge.
He apparently told the cops he killed the baby because she had demons.
The baby’s father, Morena Molakeng (20) said he wants the killer of his baby to explain why he did it.
“Why would he kill a defenceless child? My baby was healthy and she cried like any other baby but he decided to kill her.”
“He’s the one who has the demons. I want him to rot in jail so his demons can eat him there.”
Mbalenhle’s gogo, Adelina Molakeng, said she was surprised when kids knocked on her door saying they had been sent to call her.
“When I got there, I cried at what I saw. My granddaughter died for something so stupid.”
Fuming residents said the man must not come back to their neighbourhood or they would show him flames.
“He’s evil and doesn’t deserve to live among us.”
The suspect appeared in court yesterday and will make his second appearance soon.
