A grandmother of a child with a disability in Rundu's Sauyemwa Informal Settlement is finding it tough to raise her grandson.

Mariana Sindano says she has been looking after the now nine-year-old child since birth.

The grandmother says Mathias Mingandja was born with a brain defect that stunted his growth and affected his arms and legs.

Sindano says she takes Mingandja to the Rundu State Hospital for physiotherapy every week, but he has shown no improvement in his condition.
