Sakhile was accused of kidnapping the baby that she later took home and misrepresented to her husband she had given birth to the infant.

He did not believe that the child was newly born and doubted her story all the more when he heard that a baby had been snatched in Gweru.

He then took his young wife and the baby to CID Gweru.

She was positively identified by the mother at a formal identification parade.
