Just after midday, Emer-G-Med paramedics were flagged down by members of the public in the Warwick Avenue area, after a commuter made a grizzly discovery whilst waiting for his taxi at the Phoenix taxi rank in the CBD.
Paramedics were taken to a bin where they were shown the lifeless body of a newborn fetus wrapped in a rubbish bag and discarded in the bin.
The scene was cordoned off and handed over to the South African Police Services who will be conducting the necessary investigations accordingly.
