According to Constable Zanele Khomo, of the Durban Central SAPS, the mother abandoned the child at The Workshop shopping centre this morning around 10am. “The woman told a man at a car wash to hold her child whilst she went to buy a soft drink but never returned to collect the baby.
“The woman was wearing pink leggings and an animal print long sleeve shirt. The child was wearing a cream vest and denim pants. The child is a baby boy approximately seven months old,” Khomo explained.
