A Cape Town mother is set to appear in court today on charges of murdering her two-year-old son Tariq Jacobs.

Zulpha Jacobs confessed on Saturday to killing her son.

Tariq went missing last Thursday after shopping with his mother at the busy Town Centre in Mitchells Plain.

Zulpha is also under investigation in connection with the deaths of two of her other children.
