“Soon after that she started screaming prompting some elderly women who were around to come to her rescue. They formed a circle around her so that other travellers could not see what was happening. It took them about three minutes to deliver the baby,”  said a police officer who witnessed the incident.
The woman, who identified herself as Koketso said she was happy her baby was in a healthy condition.
