EKURHULENI mum Motshidisi Skhosana (48) was allegedly killed by her baby's father on Sunday, 16 July.
The mother from Gabon in Daveyton, Ekurhuleni was stabbed to death after she allegedly asked the father of her son (3) to pay papgeld.
Motshidisi's older son, Tebogo Skhosana said the man was violent towards their mother and what he did on Sunday will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
The 22-year-old, who is still traumatised, discovered her mother's body in her shack with her throat slit.
The suspect was arrested on Thursday, 20 July after being on the run.
Tebogo told Daily Sun that the suspect and his mother used to argue over him failing to maintain his younger half-brother.

He said last month the man he burnt their mother's shack.
"My mum opened a case but he begged her to drop the case and promised to support his son," he said.
Daughter Mpolokeng Skhosana (25) said she and her brother would often come to their mum's defense, but they would be threatened with violence.
Mpolokeng said at one point she left her home to stay in Springs as the suspect was making life difficult for her.
"I used to come to visit my mother and go back to my place, just to avoid conflict," she said.
She said what he did to his mother is unforgivable.
"My mum was good to him but he treated her like trash and a punching bag," Mpolokeng said.
Captain Nelda Sekgobela of Ekurhuleni District police confirmed the suspect was arrested for murder on Thursday, 20 July, and is expected to appear in court next week.
