Newborn Baby’s Parents Searching for Good Samaritans after Car Crash Near Stellenbosch

The proud parents of a newborn baby in Stellenbosch, South Africa, say they are ‘feeling blessed’ after the safe birth of their baby following a terrible car crash last week. They are now desperately seeking the kind strangers who helped ensure that their little boy was safely delivered…

Marissa and Eugene Neethling have each posted the same message on their timelines, searching for the people who stopped to help them after their accident.

The message, written in Afrikaans, says: “Hi people. As everyone knows, Eugene and I – and our unborn son – were in an ugly car accident on Thursday 22 June 2017 at around 21h15.

“It happened on the R44 in the direction to Stellenbosch from Somerset West.

“I would like to ask if you could share this post as there are people that we would like to find who helped us, and stood by us to make sure that we were safe.

“There is also a jacket that we would like to return. We ask that anyone who knows the people, could steer them in our direction… We would like to say thank you very much and introduce our new family member to you, who you made sure was safe.

“Please friends, share this so that we can find the people. Thank you in advance.”

Here is the original message in Afrikaans: Hi mense. Soos almal weet, was ek en Eugene Neethling saam met ons ongebôre seun in ‘n lelike voertuig ongeluk op Donderdag 22 Junie 2017 om 21:15. Dit het plaas gevind op R44 in rigting na Stellenbosch vanaf Somerset Wes. Ek wil vra of jul die post sal share want daar is mense wat ons wil opspoor wat ons gehelp en by gestaan het en seker gemaak het ons is veilig. Daar is ook ‘n baadjie wat ons graag wil terug besorg. Ons vra dat wie ook al die mense ken, hul in ons rigting kan stuur of dat die post hul sal raak loop. Ons wil graag baie dankie sê en jul voorstel aan ons nuwe familie lid wat jul veilig gehou het. Asb vriende, share dat ons die mense kan vind. Byvoorbaat, dankie

If you were at the scene, or know who was at the scene of the accident, please get in touch with Eugene Neethling here.
