Mpumalanga baby missing after being taken by supposed ‘caregivers’

Two women told the mother that they would donate food to the baby, but said they first had to take her to the clinic for an injection.

A four-month-old baby girl has been missing since yesterday after she was taken from her mother by two women pretending to take the baby to a local clinic.

Lalicia Magumbu’s mother said the women came to her house in Thubelihle, Ga-Nala in Mpumalanga, at around 09:00, saying they were caregivers.

The so-called caregivers  promised to donate food for the baby but told the mother she must provide them with the clinic card so that they could first take the baby to the clinic to get an injection.

They, however, never returned with the baby. Lalicia was wearing a pink babygrow when she was taken.

The family of the missing baby is pleading with the community for assistance in helping to find her.

Anyone with any information should contact Kriel police on 082 798 0723.
