KwaZulu-Natal: This morning Netcare 911 St Augustine's staff heard sounds of someone calling for help in a Durban parking lot.
Upon investigating they found Mrs Nontuthzelo Bhengu in the back of a bakkie in severe pain and in the process of delivering her baby.
While one of the medics Preshan Harrilal reassured both the mother and father, medics fetched there medical equipment in preparation for a delivery.
After a short period little Sibusisiwe Nkazimulo Bhengu was welcomed into the world to big smiles from Mr and Mrs Bhengu.
The mother and baby were then transported to the closest emergency department where mother and baby were assessed by the doctor.
