Sergeant Octavia Thebe communication officer said that a case of concealment of birth has been opened and the investigations have commenced.
“We are appealing to women especially the young ones to seek for assistance when they come across challenges in their lives,” said Thebe.
She added there are organisational places they can get help from instead of abandoning their babies.
“Being a mother is not an easy task but we do not condone what happened especially next to a school it portraits a bad message to other females,” said Thebe.
