I’D RATHER KILL MYSELF THAN FEED MY KIDS – DAD

LUVE – Many parents would do anything to protect their children and make sure that they always have something to eat but for one frustrated father, this is not the case. 


The father’s despondency with his children has resulted in the four boys residing in their own house, where they are also forced to fend for themselves.  
They have become neighbours to their parents.


Steven Gumedze swore that he would rather burn all the food at his home and also commit suicide than give it to his four school-going sons.
The children are pupils of Lamawandla High school where Gumedze said he does not even pay for their school fees.

“I don’t care where and how they get food and I will not spend even a cent on them. Let the police arrest me for not maintaining them and I would rather die than budge,” he swore.


The living arrangement at the Gumedze homestead has sent residents of Luve talking as they view it as an anomaly.
Some are blaming the parents for this while others believe this is relevant punishment for the boys for refusing to carry out errands at home as boys are expected to.


The boys were born from different mothers and their father’s current wife is not their biological mother.
Concerned residents said it was not common that parents would confine school-going children to their own house and also order them to cook alone in a separate kitchen.
