“If I can find a couple that wants to pay for the child in my womb, I’d be grateful.

“He is a boy, according to the scan. I am expecting the child in June, according to maternity records,” she said.

Taruvinga, who is a vendor, told H-Metro she wanted to look after her child, living with disability, and help her get a good education.

“I love the neglected child. She is my gift from God so I want money, as well as a wheelchair, to help her access everything, including education.

“I am finding it difficult to make ends meet and that is why I saw that it was better to offer the unborn child to either Social Welfare or any willing couple.

“I lost my national identity card and without that I cannot process anything at Social Welfare,” said Taruvinga.
