The child's distraught mother, 28-year-old Lerato Mngun, from Daveyton in Ekurhuleni, said she hired the nanny through a Tembisa-based placement agency when her son, Langelihle, was two months old. “Why? I just want to know why,” said Lerato Mnguni.

The keys were thrown on to the kitchen floor. “I thought she had taken my child and run off,” said Lerato.

She had small abrasions and had vomited and defecated.
