A woman from Ballito is scheduled to be sentenced in May for the murder of her four-year-old daughter, to whom she admitted drowning in a bucket of water last month.
She made her court appearance on Tuesday at the KwaDukuza Magistrate's Court. During her arrest in 2022, she described her daughter as difficult and troublesome to the authorities.
The mother's name is being withheld to protect the identity of her other child.
