South Africa: Abducted newborn found

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

After nearly three agonising days, a Villiersdorp father received “the best birthday present ever” – the safe return of his newborn daughter who was snatched hours after her birth on Monday.

“We’re so happy. We’re so relieved,” Thys Lavelot said yesterday as he hugged his wife, Annie, who was tightly holding their daughter in a room at the Worcester Hospital where she was being medically checked.

Hours after being reunited with her, they named her Michelle Hope.

Michelle, snug in a fluffy blanket, slept in her mother’s arms as photographers, police officers and hospital staff jostled around trying to get a clear view of her.

They remarked how “cute” she was.

“This is wonderful. She has a seven-year-old brother and 13-year-old sister and they’re very happy she’s home,” Annie Lavelot said before kissing her daughter on the head.

It was her husband’s 37th birthday yesterday and the Lavelots said Michelle’s safe return was cause for “big celebrations”.

Worcester police spokesman Mzikayise Moloi said Michelle was found in a Caledon home early yesterday. Police traced her after receiving tip-offs from the public.

A 34-year-old woman was arrested at the house and Moloi said she was expected to appear in the Worcester Magistrate’s Court tomorrow facing an abduction charge.

Moloi said Lavelot had given birth at the Worcester Day Hospital at 9am on Monday.

She had been discharged three hours later.

“She’s from Villiersdorp and heard a lady saying she was there to pick up another lady from Villiersdorp who’d given birth.

“They started talking and (Lavelot) said she was struggling to get a lift back home. The lady offered her a lift.

“(Lavelot) saw baby clothes in the woman’s bag, but didn’t think much of it,” Moloi said.

After a while, Lavelot and the woman decided to walk to the nearby main hospital section.

“They waited outside, but the woman said Lavelot must go inside because it’s too windy for the baby.

“They went inside and the woman said she would hold the baby because (Lavelot) must be exhausted.

“She then said she would go and phone her husband who was going to fetch them.”

Moloi said soon afterwards Lavelot went after the woman, who had not given her name and who had walked through the hospital’s casualty section and outside, but she was gone. Lavelot began to panic and ran around asking people if they had seen the woman.

Last year Baby Siphesihle Ncumani vanished from Tygerberg Hospital.

Five weeks later, police arrested Bulewa Xeza, 31, of Mfuleni, when they found the baby in her care.

Meanwhile the parents of baby Zephany Nurse are still hoping she will be returned home safely after she was snatched from Groote Schuur in 1997.
