Two human foetuses aged approximately 2-3 months were discovered in Table View’s Site 5 informal settlement last week. According to the Table View Community Police Forum the gruesome discoveries were made on 8 and 10 August.

A member of the community found the first foetus inside a wheelie bin at the dump site in the settlement. Two days later the police were called to a dam in the settlement. Upon arrival they found “many community members standing near the dam.

When they approached the scene they noticed a fetus lying on the ground. One of the community members discovered it earlier and took it out of the water.” The gender of the foetus could not be ascertained. Table View Police is investigating two cases of concealment of birth.
