SOME rural folk in Zimbabwe remain excluded from social amenities due to the lack of official identity documents.<\/p>\n
Birth registration allows one to enjoy a lot of other rights such as the right to education, health, social assistance among others.<\/p>\n
However, with the Covid-19 pandemic many have failed to access relief from the Government as they do not have identity documents.<\/p>\n
According to experts, destitution is the most common reason why some children across the country do not have birth certificates, years after they are conceived.<\/p>\n
Obliviousness about children\u2019s privileges and social convictions are additionally referred to as the other reasons why some of them grow into adulthood with no birth declarations.<\/p>\n
It has likewise been said that a number of children don\u2019t have birth declarations on the grounds that their parents don\u2019t have identification documents themselves. This is the case with 68-year-old Ms Theresa Ndlovu and her four children among them Mr Jabulani Ndlovu.<\/p>\n
