Young Mulamuleli is looking for a Samaritan who can revive her hopes to see again.

Mulamuleli Nemangaya (9) of Tshikota Township outside Louis Trichardt was able to see when she was born, but after three years, her eyes started to swell, which affected her sight.

According to Mulamuleli’s father, Mr Michael Netshilindi, that it is very sad, because his daughter’s situation affects her relationship with other children as she can no longer play with them. He added that, unlike before, Mulamuleli now spends most of her time sitting around at home or sleeping, as she sometimes does not see at all.

Netshilindi further indicated that he had already spent a lot of money sending Mulamuleli to different local medical doctors, but she was unable to get assistance. “I really want to assist my daughter, but since I am unemployed, I can not afford all the medical costs that she needs,” he mentioned sadly.

Netshilindi is now pleading with anyone who can assist his daughter in this regard. This situation, according to Netshilindi, is really affecting him, as Mulamuleli sometimes cry of pain. “It really pains me when I helplessly watch her crying, knowing that I am the only person who is supposed to be helping her as her father. Her problem even affected her schooling as she is no longer able to write,” he said.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson of the Department of Health in Limpopo, Mr Puthi Seloba, advised this week that Mulamuleli should be taken to Elim Hospital, where there are people who can assist her. “If there is a need, she will be transferred to the provincial hospital in Polokwane where there are specialists who can assist her,” he said.

Mulamuleli, according to her father, now attends the Tshilidzini Special School and is in Grade 2. “The problem now is that I cannot afford her school fees of R1 200, as I am unemployed,” he said.

Anyone who can assist Mulamuleli can contact her father, Mr Michael Netshilindi, at 079 6641 568.
