Farai Dziva|A woman from Epworth has said she turned to thigh vending to save her sick mother.

The woman said she could not bear the pain of seeing her mother battling with illness.

” My mother is suffering from a kidney ailment so I cannot bear the pain of seeing her struggling,” said the woman.

Her mother is now visually impaired because she failed to access treatment in time.

“My mother needs nearly $2 000 (local currency) a month to undergo dialysis at public health institutions where there is always a queue and machines at times are either not working or are down because of current power shortages affecting the country,” she added.
