MUM-OF-THREE Odette Mitanga came to Govan a year ago after her partner was killed by government officials in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Her children, aged 11, seven and five, are all pupils at St Xavier’s Primary.
After months of uncertainty Odette and the kids have finally been given leave to remain in Britain.
“I’m very, very happy and relieved too,” she said: “I am diabetic and I was very stressed waiting for the Home Office decision. It was making me unwell.”
The future now seems so much brighter.
Odette, 23, said: “I have two boys and a girl. They are all really enjoying school and performing well too. We will stay on in Govan because we like it here.
“Now I can work and pay taxes.”
