A 25-year-old woman is expected to appear in court for the alleged murder of her infant after an illegal abortion, Johannesburg police said on Monday.
The woman, a Zimbabwean national, would appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on Monday, after she was arrested over the weekend, Captain Bhekizizwe Mavundla said.
She was one of 69 people arrested for various crimes during the Hillbrow police precinct's crime prevention operation to find wanted suspects.
The woman was linked to the dead infant after her Sedgefield Court neighbours in Joubert Park saw her allegedly use medication to abort her six-month-old infant in 2005.
She allegedly gave birth to a baby boy, who was born alive on July 28, 2005 and she allegedly dumped him in a nearby rubbish bin before she fled.
