Halima Kadzo Ziro. She is still stuck in Saudi Arabia
Halima Kadzo Ziro, 35, left Kaloleni, Malindi County for another sweet-turned-sour deal, but her right leg was amputated earlier in February and she is now under the care of a compatriot Lilian Zawadi in Riyadh.
Ms Ziro says that one day in November last year, her leg started swelling after she was pricked by an object while undertaking her normal chores.
She says she didn’t get permission from her employer to seek treatment and the leg started turning dark.
Ziro who is still stuck in Saudi Arabia is worried that she may not provide for her children in Malindi when she returns to the country.
