MBABANE - A 21-year-old mother of triplets is seeking public assistance to help
raise her children.  The infants, who are two months old, are in need of
essential items such as disposable nappies, formula and financial support for
clinic visits. Their mother, Vuyisile Mantimakhulu, explained that she was
unemployed even before the birth of her children, and both she and the
children’s father are currently without work. “We are both unemployed and
are asking the public for help in raising our children,” she said.
Overwhelmed
Mantimakhulu, who resides in Nkambeni, shared that the triplets will turn two
months old on January 28. “We are overwhelmed by the demands of raising the
babies, which is why we are pleading for assistance,” she added.The arrival of
the triplets has brought immense joy into Mantimakhulu’s life, but also a
significant financial burden. The constant need for supplies like nappies,
formula and clothes has stretched her limited resources to the breaking point.
“It’s a struggle every day,” Mantimakhulu confessed. “I worry constantly
about how I will provide for them. I’m grateful for any support, big or
small.” Anyone wishing to offer support can contact her at 7849 8313.
