DNA tests will be conducted on two women claiming to be the biological mothers of twin baby boys found abandoned in a Johannesburg minibus taxi on December 10.
The tests will be conducted on Thursday by the police’s child protection unit and social welfare, and the results will be available in a ”couple of weeks”, Johannesburg police spokesperson Constable Sefako Xaba said.
The twins were found in a taxi taking passengers to the city centre from Croesus station in southern Johannesburg.
The driver noticed them after he had dropped off all his passengers.
Seven women then claimed to be the mother of the boys. Five made contact with police telephonically while two came forward in person.
Police learned that the twins were born at Coronation hospital on November 30. They are in excellent health and are being kept in a place of safety until the matter had been resolved. — Sapa
