A THREE-day-old baby boy who was dumped in a bush and covered with soil in KwaDwesi in Eastern Cape has been admitted to hospital, police said on Wednesday.
The baby was discovered after two children playing nearby heard it crying.
"The children were playing in the bushes and found a baby boy who was partially covered in soil. They alerted the police and the baby boy was taken to Dora Nginza Hospital, where he is recovering and cared for," police spokesman Captain Andre Beetge said.
Beetge said police were making appeals to the local community to help with the identification of the child's parents.
Anyone with information that could aid the police in this matter should contact Kwadwesi SAPS at 041 405 4700 or 405 8512, or the Kwadwesi station commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Singapphi Sijako, on 082 302 5961.
