Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The mother of a seven-year-old boy who was kidnapped in Zimbabwe four years ago and smuggled to Kenya says she is losing hope of ever seeing him again.<\/p>\n

This comes after authorities in the East African country reportedly failed to find him at the children\u2019s home where he was said to be.<\/p>\n

Awakhiwe Ackim Ncube was abducted while he was playing with other children at his grandfather\u2019s homestead in Nkayi.<\/p>\n

He was found at the Kenyan border and was taken to Happy Children\u2019s Home in Nairobi after the authorities in Kenya had failed to locate his parents.<\/p>\n

A taskforce is led by the Children\u2019s Services in Kenya failed to locate Awakhiwe at Happy Children\u2019s Home, and will now search for him in all children\u2019s homes in Kenya.<\/p>\n

Awakhiwe\u2019s mother, Nobekezelo Maseko, spoke with a woman at Happy Children\u2019s Home some time back but failed to get the name or the phone number of the woman she spoke with.<\/p>\n

The International Organisation for Migration(IOM) said it was difficult to locate the child. IOM representative, Tsetse Mkhonto, said:<\/p>\n

The Kenya Children\u2019s Services has formed a committee that is already on the ground investigating the whereabouts of the kid.<\/p>\n

It is a challenging task because we have not yet found the lady whom the parents had contacted, if we manage to get her contacts it will be a conclusion of the matter.<\/p>\n

Maseko revealed that she was invited for an interview by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). She said:<\/p>\n

They wanted to know whether I have a passport or not and I would be able to go and take my son when he is found and I told them that I have nothing. I am now losing hope again after it was restored.<\/p>\n
