On Thursday February 4 this year, Zimbabwean woman Rebecca Mutapiri and her husband Alex, both based in South Africa, only managed to take their first short nap at 2am.
The couple had been awake the entire night and part of the morning, and they desperately needed a few moments of sleep.
Yet, as the clock ticked towards 4am, the silence of the quiet morning was shattered by a loud cry coming from one of their bedrooms used by her brother-in-law, SteveJohn.
This has been the reality in their lives.
