Worcester Police members went beyond the call of duty when a healthy baby boy was delivered in broad daylight under a tree in Aan de Doorns Road on Tuesday, 15 March 2022 at around 14:50
The local sector commander Warrant Officer Anneline Fielies was busy with patrols when she was approached by a male, asking her to assist his girlfriend suffering from labor pains. The member called the ambulance service for assistance, whilst she cordoned off the area with blankets. Moments later, the member delivered a healthy baby boy after which she was assisted by Constable Monray Prins, who was prepared to take off his shirt, in order to cover the newborn baby. The local ambulance service arrived and transported the mother and baby to a nearby hospital.
The Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Thembisile Patekile lauded the members for going the extra mile.
