|||Cape Town - A Cape Town magistrate found herself delivering a baby rather than a judgment in court on Monday.
Acting senior magistrate Pearl Andrews said she was on her way to a prosecutor’s office at the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court when an interpreter told her a woman was in labour.
A few seconds later, security guards ran past her towards the toilets and she followed.
Andrews borrowed a cleaner’s rubber gloves to deliver the baby.
She said the mother, Koliswa Thwala, and her baby boy were taken to the Retreat Maternity Hospital.
