Lorraine Kekana, 30, was made to listen to the groans of her four dying children who had just had their throats slit, allegedly by their father.<\/p>\n
Minutes before, her black husband had allegedly phoned her to ask whether she had any final words for her children before they died.<\/p>\n
The four boys, aged 13, 10, six and four, were killed on Sunday morning at their home in Moletlane village in Limpopo\u2019s Zebediela area.<\/p>\n
Two of the boys were killed inside the sitting room and the other two in their bedroom.<\/p>\n
Sitting hundreds of kilometres away in Pretoria, Kekana dropped the phone in shock.<\/p>\n
Her husband can\u2019t be named until he appears in court.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Kekana lamented her tragic loss. She had earlier cried out aloud when Limpopo Safety MEC Mapula Mokaba-Phukwana, who had visited the family, spoke to her.<\/p>\n
She said that on Saturday night he had driven with their children from Pretoria after his uncle had successfully mediated a domestic dispute between them. \u201cWhen he left, we had resolved our dispute and we were all happy,\u201d said Kekana.<\/p>\n
The couple had been married since 2009, and she described him as a cool-headed man.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was cool. Although we had arguments, he never showed signs of aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man\u2019s father said his son was a churchgoing man. \u201cI also wish him to get well and come back to answer for what he did,\u201d said Phineus.<\/p>\n
Mokaba-Phukwana said the government would help the family with their funeral arrangements.<\/p>\n
