Nothabo Ndlovu, a 19-year-old mother, allegedly dumped her one-week-old baby in a bush near ZIMRA flats in Plumtree and is now facing charges of exposing an infant. The baby was born on August 23, 2025, and abandoned on September 4, 2025. Fortunately, a passerby found the baby and reported it to the police, who then took the infant to Plumtree District Hospital for care. Ndlovu was arrested after admitting to the act and identifying the baby as hers. She has been remanded in custody and is being prosecuted by Ruth Ncube. Organizations like the Sandra Jones Centre in Bulawayo provide support for young mothers and orphans, offering essential services like accommodation, food, education, and counseling .
