Johannesburg - The hunt is on for a woman, believed to be a gangster's girlfriend, who dumps her children where she pleases.

The 23-year-old, known only as Naledi, has abandoned five children in Limpopo and Gauteng.

Martha Ndlovu of Alexandra, outside Johannesburg, is one of the woman's victims.

Naledi asked her to look after her twin daughters while she looked for a place to stay.

"This woman said to me she would return at lunch time and she never did. I have looked after her twins for two and half weeks without hearing from her," said Martha.

Naledi also abandoned a third child, a two-year-old girl, with another woman in Alexandra a few days after leaving her twins with Martha.

The other foster mother, who is old and sickly, just wants to get rid of the child.

She refused to disclose her name and said she was afraid of what Naledi might do to her.

She said: "I am old and have high blood pressure. I can hardly walk and I am tired of looking after this woman's child. All I want is people to come and take her away."

The old lady said Naledi's babies had been fathered by gangsters in the Gauteng area.

"I don't want to die a painful death. I am afraid of this girl and her criminal-minded men."

Before Naledi came to Johannesburg "to continue her wild life", she had apparently left two daughters in Polokwane.

Naledi is said to be a wild, gorgeous woman who ties men around her little finger.

The old woman, who is looking after her two-year-old girl, said Naledi was pregnant at the time she met her during the last week of January.

The foster mother said the children might be HIV positive.

"I bet you this woman has Aids, which is why she is leaving her children all over."
