Nozibele Dada, 62, has spent more than a decade trying to get a birth certificate for her 15-year-old grandson, Qhamani. He was born in Butterworth, Eastern Cape, and has lived with Dada in Langa, Cape Town, since he was eight months old. His mother, 17 at the time, could not register his birth as she did not yet have an identity document.
