Baby Siwaphiwe - DNA testing to determine identity of kidnapped baby

The paternity of kidnapped baby Siwaphiwe Mbambo was thrust into the spotlight as her mother S’bongile and her secret lover‚ Phumlani Mbokazi‚ appeared in the Durban Magistrate’s Court on Monday.

The court heard that DNA testing would be conducted to determine the identity of the one-month-old girl’s father.

Mbambo‚ whose face was concealed with a scarf and Mbokazi‚ in a formal blue jacket‚ faced ranks of cameras in the packed court gallery.

Missing was a third person who was arrested with Mbokazi‚ as he was returning the child to Durban between midnight and 1am on Sunday morning near the Mariannhill Toll Plaza.

The woman was not charged.
