Cape Town High Court Judge President John Hlophe convicted the 51-year-old woman - who cannot be named to protect Zephany‚ whom she raised under another name - of kidnapping‚ fraud and contravention of the Children’s Act in March.The woman‚ who has been in custody pending sentencing procedures‚ had a new hairstyle and was wearing a black outfit when she appeared in the dock on Monday. She smiled and waved at journalists.The hearing was scheduled to be heard on Monday but the woman’s lawyer‚ Reaz Khan‚ asked for more time to prepare.“I asked for the judgment as early as March‚” said Khan. “Unfortunately‚ I only received the judgment this morning. For that reason I am unable to proceed today.” Celeste Nurse: I experienced a touching moment when my family was reunitedWitnessing Zephany Nurse interact with her siblings a few months back was a touching moment, her biological mother Celeste Nurse told Heart FM this week.Celeste Nurse speaks out on case, says nobody winsA woman may have been convicted of snatching newborn Zephany Nurse many years ago, but nobody wins at the end of the day, her biological mother told Heart FM this weekZephany Nurse - Once upon a time on the Cape FlatsZephany Nurse's fate, to be be stolen at birth, is a real - life verson of an archetypal mythHlophe postponed the matter until August 1. Morne Nurse was not pleased.“We are not happy with the proceedings as this stage‚” he said. “Now we have to wait for another two months. At this stage‚ it is actually draining our family. We can’t handle it anymore. We are tired‚ we want to have our lives to ourselves but it is not happening.”He had no sympathy for the woman who deprived him of a bond with his daughter.“The world can blame us for what this lady is going through but she is in court’s hands and the law must take its course. She made a bed and she must lie in it‚” he fumed.The prosecution revealed that it would call Zephany as a witness – to testify against the woman who raised her - to bolster its case. She will testify in camera. It also asked that the probation officer and the social workers’ reports be concealed from the public because they contain sensitive and confidential information.In her plea explanation‚ the convicted woman detailed her numerous attempts to conceive‚ a number of miscarriages and her desperation to adopt a child. She said a woman she knew only as “Sylvia” had given her the child and told her that “a young girl was not interested in keeping her baby and wanted to give her up for adoption”.She said that she paid Sylvia R3000 for the adoption. She also admitted to misleading her husband and family into believing the child was his and hiding her miscarriage from him. But Hlophe found that her story was implausible.The woman was arrested in February 2015 after DNA tests proved that Zephany was not her biological child.According to the state‚ the woman snatched Zephany from Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town on April 30‚ 1997.Zephany was reunited with her biological parents in 2015 after her sister‚ Cassidy‚ enrolled at Zephany’s school and pupils remarked on how similar they looked which led to an investigation. - TMG Digital/Cape Town Bureau..
