Police received information about a baby who was up for sale at Besters. Kwazulu-Natal VIP was asked to assist and sprang into action. Six vehicles were dispatched to the scene and after an intensive search about an hour and a half later the baby was found after she was offered for sale.
An African male who is alleged to be the uncle of the child was arrested at Rattans bottle store. Alert Kwazulu-Natal VIP guards apprehended the suspect as he tried to sell the baby for R600. (That is approximately 45 dollars)
The man was detained in a bottle store, could be that the man wanted more alcohol and in a desperate need of money. Perhaps he was the uncle, and the child was placed in his care. Who on earth would sell a child for six hundred rands, only a person who has no consideration for another human being? It is the mentality of individuals who are outright disrespectful and inconsiderate toward innocent children that alarm most.
Thankfully the police acted immediately and managed to save another child. There are so many stories about children who go missing, and it must be disturbing for parents to deal with the fact that little can be done. With the high increase in witchcraft and desperate need for body parts, the child could have ended up being hacked to death.
It was a story of concern for another innocent toddler who had no means to protection from the cruel injustices of adults. It is a story that ended well.The beautiful baby who appears to be in a good condition was eventually handed over to South African Police - Phoenix. An investigation will continue. The perpetrator should be locked away for a long time.
