According to Capt. Nomvuyo Makoloi, Thobega does not know the child – nor does he know who the mother of the boy can be.

According to Thobega he does not lock his house, and he suspects that someone entered while he was sleeping and left the boy in the house.

The child is currently at the Mothibistad Police Station.

Anyone with information can call Makoloi on 076-380-2097.
