Cape Town - A family from Atlantis, a town just off the West Coast in Cape Town, are traumatised and have vowed to get justice after their baby grandson died, allegedly due to hospital negligence.
Six-month pregnant Ceejay Calvert, 24, from Beacon Hill, was ecstatic to be expecting her second son and had already started preparing for his arrival; however, she is now heartbroken.
On Sunday, April 11, Calvert went to Wesfleur Hospital and was accompanied by her sister, Codline Cloete, after she started feeling labour pains.

Cape Town - When she arrived at the scene her son was being cradled by a neighbour, a bullet wound in his forehead and his eyes open.
Nazeema Cloete could not believe what she was seeing, but she was grateful that he was alive.
“He was playing outside on the road with his friends. I was at a friend’s (place) at the time but I heard the gunshots go off. When I got back they told me my son was hit. He had been shot in the forehead. It all happened all so fast. I was just happy he was still breathing and his eyes were open,” said Cloete.
