On Friday morning at 11am, one of our lovely Parkwood domestic workers (let’s call her Ms A) was walking her 3 and a half year old ward (a little girl) home from the Parkview library’s reading hour. They walked around the Zoo Lake and as they reached the children’s play area opposite Moyo, she noticed a group of 10 loitering adult men. One of the men split away from the group and approached Ms A. The little girl scampered across to play on the climbing gym.
The man spoke to Ms A in English with a Nigerian accent, wore jeans and a tee-shirt and had a dark complexion. He asked how Ms A was and did the usual longwinded greeting. After a few moments, he said he wanted to make a deal with Ms A. He wanted the child, he explained. He would pay a LOT of money for the child. He needed a white child, he said.
I think you can only speculate that the man was a Nigerian. Please circulate this to everyone because this is a serious threat to any parent.
I was shocked to the core when I read this
