Foetus discovered behind a home

A Newtown family discovered an aborted foetus.

According to Gugu Ncube, her husband, who is a sangoma, “was led by his ancestors to the foetus”.
The foetus was discovered at the back of a house, in a plastic bag.

She told www.mobserver.co.za that she thought the plastic bag contained raw meat, but after careful observation, they noticed a head and legs.
The gender of the foetus is unknown.

The foetus was removed from the scene by the state pathologists.

The Precious Life Baby Project, situated at the St John’s Presbyterian Church, aims to give women alternatives to abortion.

I was also a broadcasting intern at the SABC in Pretoria. In my first year as a journalist I was awarded the Upcoming Journalist of the Year at the O H Frewin awards. My motto in life is ‘I am human before anything’ with that being said I am driven by human stories and I am a strong believer in justices and human rights.
