Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Manicaland Province, Inspector Norbert Muzondo confirmed the incident. He said:

> The informant was travelling with her husband along the Harare-Mutare Highway going towards Rusape at around 2 AM.

> Upon approaching the 180km peg, the informant saw a plastic bag lying in the middle of the road.

> They immediately stopped and upon investigation, they discovered that a baby was inside the plastic bag.

> Muzondo said the couple took the infant to a police roadblock at the 175km peg where they picked up a police officer.

> They went to Rusape General Hospital where they handed the infant over to the hospital authorities for examinations.

> Hospital authorities concluded that the baby was in stable condition and had just been delivered.

Inspector Muzondo castigated the mother of the infant for baby-dumping. He said:

> What the mother did is cruel. We discourage baby dumping and we encourage would-be mothers who may fail to provide for their newly-born babies to approach organisations like the Department of Social Welfare or development partners for assistance.

> There are mechanisms in place to assist parents who may not be in a position to support their children. We also applaud the Good Samaritan for a job well done.

> She did exceptionally well by acting timely and making a quick reaction to ensure the safety of the baby. The philanthropic works should not go unnoticed.
