“Her condition worsened after I met her on the way to the shop where I had gone to buy food,” Masikane explained.
“We finally got going but when we arrived at a nearby garage we realised her condition was worsening. There wasn't much we could do at the time so we brought her some coffee and rushed her home to her mum.”
