Fully developed foetus found in eMbalenhle

The eMbalenhle community discovered remains of a fully developed foetus.
Some of the community members said that the foetus looked around 8 months old. In 2019 many fully developed foeti were discovered in and around eMbalenhle. The Bulletin reported on the high number of illegal abortions that occurred in the township in October 2019.
On Friday, 25 January, the community from Mandela Section were shocked when one of the sewers was blocked. They tried to unblock the sewer but found a fully developed foetus, the cause of the blockage.
SAPS and ambulances were called to the scene and upon their arrival they made a declaration of death.
At this point it could not be confirmed if a case was opened at the police nor what type of case.
People are encouraged to visit clinics should they need counselling because it is clear that there is a lack of knowledge which could be the reason behind all of the abortions.
The Department of Health should engage with communities and reach out to school kids. #STOPillegalabortions – Sandile Mkhwanazi
