Infant freed from shallow grave after church steward alerted by muted cries

--:--
When Methodist Church steward Mbuyiselo Manyonga set off to find the source of the muffled cries he heard while preparing for Sunday service, he thought there was a cat in distress.
However, what he found buried in a shallow grave inside an incomplete building next to the church was not someone’s pet, but a newborn baby boy.
The baby boy, found with his umbilical cord still attached, is in a stable condition at Indwe Hospital. His mother is not known.
