Sitting around, waiting to help pupils to give birth

Every day a group of women gather outside Mavelani High School in Limpopo. They are mothers, potential mother-in-laws or hired to be there. Their job? To spring into action when a pupil goes into labour.
At least 15 women sit at the gate of the school, waiting for the call from the principal or teachers inside that their child has gone into labour.
