PODCAST | When mothers kill

As our economy struggles and unemployment increases, South Africans have started to see an explosion of cases that have made us question whether mothers are receiving the support they need to maintain their emotional health.

In this minisode, we discuss a wide range of filicidal cases with different motives and try to uncover the root causes of these horrific crimes.
