... 8217;s children have all died from AIDS and so she has no immediate family to look after her and her distance relatives live a long way away, so RWEYOWA check on her and provide her with food. In the past they have had to take her for treatment for pneumonia. On Wednesday we sadly discover her not well at all; she has a terrible cough and is so weak she is unable to stand or even to get onto her bed and so has been sleeping on the floor. Wilson speaks with her for a ...
