CAPE TOWN - 12-day-old Mogamat Imaad Sharmer has been found alive and well.
Police rescued him during a raid in Tafelsig in Mitchells Plain.
A 37-year-old woman was arrested and will face kidnapping charges.
Baby Mogamat vanished from a Bellville shopping mall over the weekend.
His mother Imaan Brandt-Sharmar said when she unwrapped the blanket covering her baby, she broke down.
"When I saw him, I just let go of everything I was feeling inside. I was so happy," she said.
"The minute I was able to hold him in my arms, I was utterly relieved."
Mogamat was taken to hospital for an examination, where he received a clean bill of health.
