A woman from Gokwe sold her baby two days after giving birth.
The 23-year-old pleaded guilty before a Harare Magistrate to contravening the Trafficking in Persons Act.
She is expected back in court on May 14, for sentencing.
The accused person connived to sell her baby two days after giving birth.
According to the State’s case, the accused person sold her son to her accomplice on June 26, last year, two days after giving birth, in Johannesburg, South Africa.
It was proved that sometime in October of the same year, the accomplice smuggled the infant into Zimbabwe.
The accomplice was arrested on November 27, last year following a tip off.
The infant was subsequently placed under the care of the Department of Social Welfare.
When the accused person learnt of her accomplice’s arrest, she returned home on December 12 to claim the infant back.
She was however arrested as her claim was suspicious because she had declared her infant dead a few days after birth.
