SPRINGS SAPS MEMBERS HELP DELIVER BABY
According to the report, the event began when a couple arrived at the Spring SAPS station. The anguished man and pregnant woman pleaded with police to provide urgent help.
As confirmed by Arrive Alive, the incident happened on Friday night, 3 December 2021.
“The woman experienced severe labour pains and Lieutenant Colonel Mandie Davel immediately called the ambulance,” the report said.
“But due to the severity of the labour pains the woman experienced, Lieutenant Colonel Davel took it upon herself to assist the woman in delivering the baby in the Community Service Centre (CSC) as she has midwifery skills and experience.”
The heroic Springs cop, Colonel Mandie Davel, was assisted by Sergeant Mofokeng to successfully deliver a healthy baby.
“Mother and baby were immediately transported to a hospital for further medical attention,” the report added.
CAPE TOWN COPS TURN POSSIBLE ARREST TO BABY BIRTH
In a movie-like scene, Cape Town police were ready to arrest a couple for breaking curfew laws, when their attention was suddenly diverted…
Cape Town’s Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP) officers were about to arrest a couple for driving past curfew, when they realised there was a pregnant woman that urgently needed their help on Tuesday 21 September.
The officers could not believe their eyes when they spotted a vehicle well past curfew around 3:00 in Bishop Lavis, Cape Town. However, a life-changing event was moments away. Inside the car, police found a pregnant woman, a male and two other children driving to a nearby clinic for the birth.
“On 21 September at about 3:00 in the morning, Law Enforcement LEAP officers were on patrol on Robert Sobukwe Drive approaching Montana when they spotted a vehicle on the road clearly flouting the curfew rules,’’ City of Cape Town Safety and Security Directorate spokesperson Wayne Dyason told IOL.
“They stopped the vehicle and found an adult male and female and [two] children inside. The female indicated she was pregnant and was going into labour and they were en route to the Bishop Lavis clinic to seek assistance.”
