A woman charged with stealing a newborn baby 18 years ago appeared briefly in a South African court Monday, in a case that came to light only when school pupils noticed a startling resemblance between a student and a new girl.
The case in the Cape Town High Court was postponed until Tuesday by Judge John Hlophe after prosecutors said they needed time to formalise agreements on a number of admissions by the defense.
The accused 50-year-old woman has been on bail since March last year after DNA tests confirmed that the new girl at the school and a 17-year-old final-year student were in fact biological sisters.
