The girl who cannot be named because of her age is in a relationship with her mother’s brother and is 17 weeks pregnant. Her parents took her to court to apply for termination of the pregnancy but she flatly refused and told the magistrate Phathekile Msipa that she loved her uncle, the pregnancy and she is going to look after the baby.
Jambo is however, on the run.
