Durban mom pleads for abducted baby's safe return
The Durban mother of a two-month-old kidnapped baby has made an appeal to the men who took the infant to bring him home safely.
The baby was abducted by two armed suspects who arrived at their home in Welbedacht, south of Durban, on Friday.
They apparently asked for a teenage member of the family, accusing him of stealing their alcohol.
The men then fled with the baby and a cell phone.
Zinhle Mdletshe says they have no idea who the men are.

She says the child was wearing a white romper and wrapped in a small blanket.
"I just want my baby, that's all. Even if they drop the baby off at the door and then they go, we will hear the child crying, and it's okay. I need my baby."
Mdletshe says she is struggling to sleep at night, worrying about where her baby could be.
"They buried me alive. I carried this baby for nine months, I was the one at the hospital, injected with drips because my blood pressure was high, I almost died at the labour ward then they decided to take him away from me. I have never fought with anyone. I don't know what they want from me."
Police say they are still trying to find the baby.
