A mother's agony: She was made to listen to the dying cries of her four children as their throats were slit by their father

30-year-old Lorraine Kekana was made to listen to the cries of her four dying children who had just had their throats slit, allegedly by their father, IOL news reports.

Minutes before, her husband had allegedly phoned her to ask whether she had any final words for her children before they died. The four boys, aged 13, 10, 6 and 4, were killed on Sunday morning Sept 6th at their home in Moletlane village in Limpopo’s Zebediela area South Africa.Two of the boys were killed inside the sitting room and the other two in their bedroom.

Sitting hundreds of kilometres away in Pretoria, Kekana dropped the phone in shock. Her husband can’t be named until he appears in court.

On Monday, Kekana couldn’t hold back the tears as she recalled the gruesome murder of her four boys. Moments after the phone call, Kekana phoned her neighbour and asked her to find out what had happened.
"I phoned her back and she said all the children had died,” said the grieving mother. Again she dropped the phone in shock. "I phoned her back to ask where my husband was and she said he’d gone into a room and he had blood on his clothes."
He was later found in his bedroom with injuries to his throat in what appeared to be a failed suicide attempt. Limpopo police spokeswoman Colonel Ronel Otto said the 36-year-old man was recovering in hospital under police guard. "As soon as he is well enough, he will appear in court on four counts of murder,” said Otto.

On Monday, Kekana lamented her tragic loss. She had earlier cried out aloud when Limpopo Safety MEC Mapula Mokaba-Phukwana, who had visited the family, spoke to her. Speaking to The Star later, she said:
"I’m numb. No amount of tears will bring back my children. How am I going to live in this house all alone? I had never prepared to bury all my four children at once."
Kekana said her husband had phoned her earlier to tell her he wished he had crashed his car – with the children inside – into a a truck. She said that on Saturday night he had driven with their children from Pretoria after his uncle had successfully mediated a domestic dispute between them.
"When he left, we had resolved our dispute and we were all happy," said Kekana.
Or so she thought. Her husband had arrived in Zebediela early on Sunday morning, after he had left Pretoria on Saturday night with other ideas.
"I wish him to recover from his injuries so that I can ask him why he killed my children."
The couple had been married since 2009, and she described him as a cool-headed man. "He was cool. Although we had arguments, he never showed signs of aggression."

The man’s father, Phineus Kekana, said his son was a churchgoing man. "I also wish him to get well and come back to answer for what he did," he said. Mokaba-Phukwana said the government would help the family with their funeral arrangements.

Declare your assets now- Ekiti APC tells Fayose

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has asked the state governor Ayodele Fayose to declare his assets in line with President Buhari and VP Osinbajo, who he always criticizes.

In a statement released today September 8 and signed by its Publicity secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, the party accused Fayose of having properties in Ghana, Dubai, South Africa, Abuja, Ibadan & Ikoyi.


“The governor must seize the opportunity of declaring his assets to douse speculations of his alleged funneling of the state resources to his private enterprises abroad. It is curious that he has not abused President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo after they declared their assets. Fayose’s loud silence on the President in this case is curious because the governor has never seen anything good in whatever the President does. We are worried by the unconfirmed reports of primitive acquisitions by the governor who allegedly own properties in Ghana, Dubai, South Africa, Abuja, Ibadan and Banana Islands and Magodo in Lagos which were believed to have been acquired in the last nine months after he assumed office. Our party is aware that Fayose had no visible means of income prior to October 16, 2014 when he became governor and the properties he owned in Ibadan and Lagos are subjects of litigation by the EFCC, which is probing the governor for misappropriation and diversion of N1.3b poultry project cash to personal use in 2005. “Fayose is alleged to be building a state-of-the-art hotel in Dubai after he became Ekiti governor and after he is also reported to have paid a whopping N722 million to himself as “arrears of his allowances” as governor during his first term on the strength of the Supreme Court judgment which nullified his impeachment. Curiously too, Fayose has kept mute on various sums of money he has received on behalf of the state government, such as the N22 billion refund on Federal roads, N2billion ecological fund, N2billion micro credit fund, which he has diverted, N2.1 billion bailout NLNG fund, N9.6 billion bailout cash, N8.5 billion windfall received in June and an average of N3billion regular federal allocations he has been receiving since October 2014 till date. It would be recalled that in his former declaration of assets in 2003, the governor allegedly swore to an oath declaring two barren lands in a thick forest as two completed mansions in Ibadan, the properties the EFCC later confirmed as properties built with the alleged proceeds of the fraudulent poultry project four years after he became the governor. The recent appointment by Fayose of a 72 year old illiterate as a council boss and many others of his yes-men in other Council areas has fuelled our suspicion that he has successfully converted the resources of Local governments to his personal use without being accountable to anyone. It has thus become a matter of necessity for Mr. Fayose to declare his assets"the party said. The party added it might have to consider legal action if the state governor fails to declare his assets “We will stop at nothing to make sure that Fayose declares his assets openly so that we could remind him if he leaves any of his assets undeclared,”the statement read
