North West spokesperson Sabata Mokgwabone says two female constables rushed to Monotomosetlha informal settlement.
“Knowing the challenges in Vorstershoop, including the remoteness of the place and accessibility of community services, the employees; four constables and a data typist, rushed to the woman's place at Monotomosetlha informal settlement.
“Upon realising that the woman was about to give birth, they called an ambulance. While waiting for the ambulance from Morokweng, two female constables assisted the woman to deliver a bouncing baby girl.”
Mokgwabane believes the officers went beyond the call of duty.
