Foreigner gives birth on SA street after being denied entry into hospital by Dudula

What happened in Pretoria Tuesday will break your heart.

A foreign pregnant lady, in labour and crying for help, was denied entry at the clinic gate by Dudula members. They told her she doesn’t belong here. Instead of being helped, she was chased away.

In her pain she collapsed on the pavement outside. She screamed, she cried, begging for mercy, but still no one opened the doors. Instead of helping, many people stood around her, taking out phones. Some recorded videos while she was lying there fighting for her life and her baby’s life. Others were even laughing, pointing fingers, calling her “le kwerekwere” as if she was not a human being.

Imagine the humiliation… a mother bringing life into this world while surrounded by mockery. Imagine her tears mixing with the dust on the tar, while her baby took the first breath not in safety, but in shame and pain.

No woman deserves to suffer like that. No newborn deserves to be welcomed by laughter and hate instead of love and care.

South Africa, when did we lose our humanity?
