An East London mother who could not register her newborn for an unabridged birth certificate is still struggling to register the baby nine months after her birth.
This was due to a duplicate identity which was only discovered when Anelisa Blayi, 27, gave birth.
Her child, now nine months old, has not been registered despite the Births and Deaths Registration Act stipulating that all children born in South Africa must be registered within 30 days of their birth.
