A NEW mum is crushed after her baby boy was stolen hours after she delivered at St Luke's Mission Hospital in Lupane allegedly by a woman pretending to be a nurse who took advantage of a power failure at the Roman Catholic Church-run institution.
The mother, 32, identified only as Evers, delivered by caesarean section on Thursday and is still hospitalised as she has not yet fully recovered from the operation.
The baby was yet to be named and the father is said to be in South Africa.
Expecting mothers and those who have delivered at the hospital are now living in fear after the baby snatcher left a chilling message written on a piece of paper outside the hospital.
The piece of paper had the message 'Hospital staff you're Satanists who live on human blood'. A phone number was also written on the piece of paper and the number isn't getting through.
Evers, who cannot conceive anymore because of a medical procedure, said she only has one child aged 11. Her only other child died some time back.
This is the first time that a baby has been stolen at St Luke's Mission Hospital.
