More details emerge in KwaDukuza baby rescue
A teenager and her newborn baby are recovering in a KwaDukuza hospital - after the pupil gave birth at her high school.
But emergency services personnel were called to the school to rescue the infant - who'd fallen into a pit toilet.
Firefighters had to break through a slab under the toilet to save the baby.
A source close to the case has told Newswatch that the teen - allegedly unaware that she was pregnant - went to use a toilet.
It's understood she was already in labour at this point and gave birth - with the baby falling into the pit-toilet.
