A three-week-old baby was on Monday found abandoned inside a handbag on a sidewalk in Jorissen Street, Sunnyside, Pretoria, South Africa, TimesLive reports.
Pretoria Police said the baby was recovering in an incubator at a local hospital after she was rescued.
The police have asked the public to help them find a woman, Lebogang Botolo, who could assist them in solving the case.
Police spokesperson, Daniel Mavimbela, said when the police visited the baby at the hospital on Thursday, her condition had vastly improved compared to the time when she was found.
Mr Mavimbela said parents who did not wish to keep their newborn babies should use the two “baby bins” that were available all day where they could safely deposit their babies.
