YOUNG MUM QUESTIONS DNA RESULTS

MBABANE – A woman who suspects the results of a paternity test that was conducted through Philani Clinic has run to court.

The first time mother, *Dudu approached the Mbabane Magistrate Court seeking an order to redo a DNA paternity test at a clinic of her choice after the results of the initial test suggested that the man she believes is the father of the baby was not.

Dudu insists that *Stix, with whom they separated while she was still pregnant, is the father of the three-month-old baby.

She said when she fell pregnant her family reported the pregnancy to Stix’s family as per Swazi custom when one falls pregnant for the first time before marriage.

“When the baby was born the father denied its paternity, something which caused friction between the two families. He even suggested that we do a DNA test whose expenses he catered for and I was not opposed to that because I have nothing to hide.”

Dudu said in October last year when the baby was a month old she took the baby to Philani Clinic where a certain employee (known to this publication) drew the baby’s blood sample and took it for testing.

“They did not take my blood and the baby’s father together with the nurse went into another room where I suppose his blood was also sampled and eventually sent to South Africa for testing.”
She said after about three week she was called by the clinic to receive the results, which suggested that Stix was not the father of the child.
