Tot, Tadala's life ends with hot water under nanny care

Messages of commiseration are still pouring in over the sudden death of Baby Tadala Zungeni earlier this week. The toddler died after hot water boiling in a pot from a brazier popularly known as mbaula fell on her while in the care of her nanny, her parents were away, Facebook Page for Moms and Dads with Small kids indicated. The death has sent shock waves among Malawian parents as most of us parents rely on nannies to look after our children while we go of to work to earn a living. It is cheaper for one in Malawi to work and hire a nanny than to stop work and take care of the kids. We work to curl out of the cicles of poverty around us but that does not mean we care any less for our children and would die to stay home and take care of them while funds for diapers trickle in. Unfortunately, we need Nannies to help make our lives better. But no mother wants to burry her child. This is heart-breaking. What can we do to secure our children while we are away? May the little Angel's soul rest in peace.
