Reported by the Daily Maverick, a Nelson Mandela Bay Mother kept her baby alive by feeding her cool drink powder.
Not only did the family not have other food available but the young mother said she could only afford packets of cool drink powder as a means of food for her baby.
According to the Daily Maverick the young mother could not access a child grant because she had no identity document, and as a result, her baby’s birth was not registered.
After tireless struggling, the young mother knocked on Julia Mbambo’s house.
Julia Mbambo is a community leader who runs a soup kitchen in Nelson Mandela Bay.
Upon answering the knock at her door, Julia was shocked to see a frail five-month-old baby who was whimpering in pain.
Julia immediately rushed out to buy some formula for the baby.
A day later, the infant child was hospitalised and is still being treated at the Dora Nginza Hospital in Nelson Mandela Bay.
