A five-month-old baby died from rickets because his devoutly religious parents had put him on a strict diet as part of their faith, a court heard yesterday.
Nkosiyapha Kunene, 46, and his wife Virginia, 32, were told they could face jail after they admitted to the manslaughter of their son, Ndingeko, who died in June 2012.
The case has raised concerns that rickets - a Victorian-era disease - is taking hold amongst a generation of children who have poor diets and don’t get enough sunlight.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
