Two police officers attached
to the Elsies River police station helped bring news life into this world, after
responding to a call about a woman in labour on Thursday.
According to provincial police
spokesperson Warrant Officer Joseph Swartbooi, Constable Lucinda Raffie and her
partner, Sergeant Gert Swart, attended to the complaint in Tiara Way in
Leonsdale.
On arrival they saw a man and woman
outside on lookout for the ambulance. The police members advised the woman to
go inside and make herself comfortable
Not long after when the woman
indicated she was about to give birth and officers Raffie and Swart immediately
reached for their gloves.
“Within a split second, the baby was delivered and landed in the capable
hands of Constable Raffie.
“Guided by advice from the medical personnel via cellular
telephone, she managed to hand over a healthy baby boy to the medical personnel
upon their arrival,” Swartbooi said.
