#Sickness

 

A young boy was born here at Emalahleni healthy and strong, when times goes on he started not feeling well especially during the night his parents won’t be able to sleep they should rush him to hospital, only to find out that he has got an asthmatic problem that is why he’s struggling to breathe during the night.

It happened at Vosman where we are surrounded by coal mines that are operating without license.

The small handsome boy is suffering at night but not that is winter is happening now and again though at night is worse.

He’s Parent obviously are more affected by the whole situation because they are unemployed it’s a burden for them to take him to the hospital.

During the night he will start by crying nonstop, and they will notice that he is struggling to breathe.

For now, he’s using medication from the Hospital, but solution to this problem it’s for the family to relocate because the damage it’s already done, and more coal mines are coming in the family they are still going to live in this conditions.

It’s for the family to relocate because this place is Polluted and is not getting better it’s getting worse each and every day.
