Mzansi praises Jozi metro cop for helping mom deliver a healthy baby
In related news, Briefly News previously reported that a JMPD officer, Lebepe Evans, was a hit on social media after he helped a woman deliver a healthy baby girl.
The off-duty officer’s generous deed was posted by Shireen Ebrahim on Facebook and says the proud guy was kind enough to help the lady.
Ebrahim posted the inspiring story on the #ImStaying page and heaped praise on the police officer, saying Evans helped the woman at Bree Taxi Rank in Johannesburg.
The social media account holder also suggested that the little baby should be named after the policeman simply because of his heroic deeds.
The post read:
"The woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl and they were later taken to the hospital.
"People suggested that the baby should be named Brianna, because she was born at Bree Street and I suggest that she should be named Eva, from Evans."
