Two mothers in South Africa are waiting for DNA results after their newborn babies were mixed up and one of them subsequently died

After they gave birth at the Alexandra Clinic, nurses allegedly forgot to tag the infants' wrists. The women were each given a child and told to return later for results, but one of the baby girls died. “I am torn between grief of losing a child and the thought of explaining to the other woman how her child died, if it’s hers," Lebo Nkadimeng, the mother in whose care the baby died, has said. "I cannot even mourn the baby’s death because I am not sure if she was mine,” she said.
