Durban - A 33-year-old woman who stole a baby because she lied to her boyfriend she was pregnant has been jailed for four years. 

Bongeka Patricia Mathonsi was sentenced in the Pietermaritzburg Magistrate's Court after being convicted on kidnapping. 

According to police Mathonsi broke into a house in KwaPata location in October 2019. 

"She took the baby and some of the baby's clothing and fled," said police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbele. 

Mbele said the mother realised that her baby was missing in the early hours of the morning when she wanted to breastfeed her. 

 A case of kidnapping was opened at Plessislaer SAPS. 

The case was then handed to the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit detectives who investigated the matter. 

"The accused was arrested while she was at her boyfriend's place of residence."

The court heard that the accused had deceived her boyfriend from Malawi that she was pregnant with his baby. 

"The boyfriend had been depositing cash for pregnancy until the birth of the baby. The accused stole the baby when the boyfriend wanted to see the baby so that he would take her to his home for their traditional rituals. 

"She was immediately arrested and was taken into custody," said Mbele. 

The court declared the woman unfit to possess a firearm.

Early in the eighteenth century, visitors to the Tower of London could gaze upon a painted wooden statue of Henry VIII, the English king who'd died some two hundred years before. Royally robed, sceptre in hand, the likeness befitted Henry's reputation for extravagance, right down to its lascivious secret mechanism: "If you press a spot on the floor with your feet," one observer wrote, "you will see something surprising with regard to this figure, but I will not say more." I will: it was the king's codpiece, sallying forth in full regalia. Henry VIII remains the poster boy for codpieces, those profane protuberances that drew eyes crotchward in the sixteenth century. A suit of the king's armor, boasting a bulbous codpiece weighing more than two and a half pounds, is still on display at the Tower; women used to stick pins in its sumptuous red-velvet lining to ward off barrenness. And who could blame them? Sure, Henry sired notoriously few healthy childr

Breaking News By Wire Services | March 19, 2020 at 10:44 a.m. By Mark Price | Charlotte Observer Add condoms to the list of things that might be harder to find as more Americans shelter in place amid the coronavirus outbreak. There may even be a "coronavirus baby boom," some experts say, proving not everyone is practicing social distancing. Hints of heightened interest in condoms first emerged last month in China, where the virus was first reported. Condomsales.com reported March 3 that stores were seeing "shortages in Singapore and Hong Kong." The e-commerce platform Pinduoduo noted quarantine measures in China fueled a jump in sales of condoms and hair clippers, according to abacusnews.com.
