In this shocking story, a mother has been left distressed after doctors broke the news that her baby was born without private parts.
The 30-year-old woman identified as Nomvula Zulu of Maboloka, near Brits in North West of South Africa gave birth on Saturday at Letlhabile Clinic in Brits and named her baby Gontse
According to DailySun SA, Gontse does not have an anus, the baby relieves itself through the umbilical cord which is still attached to its body. After the baby was born, an X-ray was performed and they were told it could be a boy.
“They then promised to transfer us the next day to George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Ga-Rankuwa for an operation.
“But since Sunday, tomorrow never comes.”
Nomvula feels the more things are delayed, the more complicated the situation might become.
“I don’t know what the cause of the delay is and it pains me to see my baby like this,” said the worried mum of four.
Nomvula’s sister Delisile Zulu said they think the baby is a girl. “We don’t know when the baby will get help as this transfer process seems to be taking too long.”
Delisile said the hospital told them no beds were available at George Mukhari.
North West Health spokesman Tebogo Lekgwethwane said: “The hospital has indicated they are doing their best to get a bed for the child at George Mukhari.
