Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Insp Mushore later posted a video on social media advising other fellow police officers on what was needed to help women in labour. She said:<\/p>\n

At least one pair of gloves, two bandages or more, painkillers, and a razor blade, preferably surgical razor blades. These items are and must be with every police officer.<\/p>\n

The festive season is unpredictable. We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. I love you Zimbabweans.<\/p>\n

The Officer-in-Charge of Matapi Police Station, Inspector Sphilisiwe Mushore, stepped in to assist a woman in labour, helping her deliver a healthy baby girl in the Magaba area of Mbare this past weekend.<\/p>\n

The woman, already in labour, had approached police officers on patrol seeking assistance. However, the situation quickly worsened before she could be transported to a nearby clinic. At that point, Inspector Mushore took immediate action and successfully helped the woman deliver her baby.<\/p>\n

Both the mother and the newborn were later taken to a local hospital for further care. ZRP spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident to The Herald. He said:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s confirmed that a woman once came to the police seeking help and she was in labour. The Officer-in-Charge took it upon herself to help the woman deliver a baby girl who was later taken to a local hospital…<\/p>\n

It is also part of the Police Service for officers to assist members of the public where necessary, even in cases which are not criminal.<\/p>\n
