In other news, two police officers, Heidi Kroutz and Goodwill Brandt, were lauded for going beyond the call of duty when a woman went into labour on May 27 at about 1:40am.
Warrant Officer Kroutz was on duty at SAPS Baviaanskloof when she received a call from a pregnant woman, Raymene de Villiers.
The 22-year-old pregnant lady, who lives on a farm in Baviaanskloof, was bleeding and she needed help.
Kroutz contacted the ambulance services in Willowmore but was informed that both the ambulances were out, the SAPS revealed on their website.
She then tried to contact the Community Service Centre and informed them to advise the family to take the woman to the hospital with their private transport.
At 3:30am Kroutz was again informed that the woman was experiencing labour pains.
The ambulance service was still unavailable and Kroutz decided to act. She and Brandt, from the Community Service Centre, decided to make the 87km trip to the rural area to go and help the woman.
They arrived at the house and found de Villiers on the bed in pain. Kroutz examined the mummy-to-be and concluded that she was already in advanced labour.
