A 25 year old woman in labour was dumped on the roadside by a taxi driver who refused to transport her to hospital.
A passerby arrived at Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) Headquarters at 16:28 (Friday) requesting assistance for the female who was in the process of delivering her child on a grass verge.
According to the female, the taxi driver informed the woman that he was not willing to assist her as it would delay him dropping off his load of passengers.
Female RUSA Administrators proceeded to the woman’s location approximately 50 metres away and assisted in the delivery of the male child prior to the arrival of medical personnel.
The healthy baby boy and his mother were both transported to hospital for further medical care.
