A newborn baby was found in a plastic bag yesterday outside a house in Stilfontein, North West.

At approximately 6.30pm paramedics from ER24 was alerted to the incident. Upon their arrival they found the owners of the house with the newborn boy.

  “They (the homeowners) explained that they came back from work and when they got out of their vehicle they heard cries coming from nearby long grass. Upon further inspection they found the little boy tied in a plastic bag crying,” Er24 spokesperson said.

Paramedics assessed the little boy and found that he could not have been more than a few hours old. He appeared to be in a healthy condition.

He was later transported to Klerksdorp General Hospital for further observations.

The circumstances surrounding the incident is not yet known. It is also not clear when the newborn was placed in the grass.
