Mother of missing Kwamashu toddler still in a state of shock

Two-year-old Zinhle Ngubane was being looked after by her dad when she was apparently kidnapped from their C-section home.

Zinhle's mother, Sinenhlanhla - who had been sitting for a matric exam at the time - says at first she thought it was a joke when she was first told of the incident.

She's appealed to anyone with information to help find her little girl.

"I've cried so many times. Now I can't even cry, I can't even smile, I can't even eat, I can't even drink any water... My emotions are so sad. I don't know where my child is. I don't even know what she's eating, or even drinking," she said.

Police say their investigations are continuing.
