Fathers Who Don’t Know Their Kids

I AM an Oshakati West resident, being raised in an extended family.

I was touched the day I heard the Minister of Higher Education wanting to put Pendukeni Ithana’s idea down as this has 100% touched my heart. I am saying this because I know of a person that is very close to me who has fathered probably 25 children but this father does not know some of his children.When they come for a holiday he asks “nguno olye nguno” (who is this?) and this is the truth.If it was possible I would mention this person’s name.These things are really happening and the truth should come out as some of us are struggling to pay our studies because of our fathers who have many children and now they can’t afford to pay for our studies.This has touched me especially since I am part and parcel of it.I thank Minister Ithana for reading my mindNdapewa Oshakati-WestI am saying this because I know of a person that is very close to me who has fathered probably 25 children but this father does not know some of his children.When they come for a holiday he asks “nguno olye nguno” (who is this?) and this is the truth.If it was possible I would mention this person’s name.These things are really happening and the truth should come out as some of us are struggling to pay our studies because of our fathers who have many children and now they can’t afford to pay for our studies.This has touched me especially since I am part and parcel of it.I thank Minister Ithana for reading my mind Ndapewa Oshakati-West
