A three-year-old boy, who was denied access to medical attention after suffering severe burns, has died.
Ncedile Nhlanhla Nsingo sustained severe burns on both legs on April 7, at a funeral, and his parents resorted to traditional concoctions.
Differences between his parents – Ncedani Nsingo, 29, and Joylin Madanha, 29 – are believed to have affected his treatment, at least, according to Gogo Nsingo.
“We have lost a life under unfortunate circumstances,” said Gogo Nsingo.
“The tragedy took place because the mother decided to opt for traditional concoctions, they are ardent followers of Ablaze Faith Ministries.
“The boy was reported to have sustained injuries when he was accidentally scalded by boiling water at a funeral.
“We were informed and I rushed there and took the boy for medical attention at Budiriro Clinic.
“Joylin did not take the boy back to the clinic for further management but resorted to traditional concoctions for reasons best known to herself.
“Medical records showed that Joylin last took the child for medical attention the day I accompanied her to Budiriro Clinic.
