A former assistant-turned-au pair of Die Antwoord's foster children has told News24 how the rap-rave duo would refer to their adopted children as the "orphan kids".
The woman, who requested anonymity, has echoed claims of neglect and abuse made against Waddy Jones (Ninja) and Anri du Toit (Yolandi Visser) by their foster son Gabriel (Tokkie) du Preez and others. Du Preez told News24 last month he was treated like the band's "child slave" and went back to living in poverty after helping them to achieve world fame.
The police's serial and electronic crimes investigation unit in Gauteng had since launched an investigation into claims of abuse and criminality.
