Mother in custody for child abuse video

A 21-year-old Limpopo mother and her friend, appeared in court for a shocking case of alleged child abuse.

A video recently surfaced online, showing a two-year-old child being encouraged to drink alcohol.

In another clip a woman can be seen smoking what looks like weed, and blowing smoke into the little boy’s face.

The pair was arrested on Saturday, after a case was opened in Dza-Nani, by the Rinae Sengani Foundation. 

Our reporter Thabo Thlomatsana unpacks the story.
