Advert listed on Gumtree under 'Baby car seat'
Cape Town - Arab Today
Police in South Africa have arrested a woman for allegedly trying to sell a baby on the listings website Gumtree.
A member of the public is thought to have tipped off police after spotting the ad, offering the baby in exchange for 5,000 rand (£250).
The woman, who has not been named, is being charged with human trafficking, according to the Hawks police unit.
Spokesman Hangwani Mulaudzi told Eyewitness News: "What we have already ascertained is that the baby is not hers and the baby is now in the care of social workers."
He added: "We are trying to ascertain where this baby comes from and what exactly were this woman's intentions."
She is due to appear at the Pietermaritzburg Magistrates Court.
