A baby boy born with three legs and two male organs around the hip in the St Elizabeth Hospital in Lusiksiki is to be flown to the Red Cross Children's Hospital in Cape Town on Thursday.
Eastern Cape health MEC Bevan Goqwana said the baby was born to an 18-year-old woman identified only as Tobeka on Thursday. It was her first child.
"It was supposed to be a twin delivery," Goqwana told Sapa. "The baby has one head, and around the hip it has two penises. It also has three legs as well as an undeveloped arm.
"There is also no anus."
Goqwana said the health department would pay for the flight to Cape Town as well as the hospital costs.
The baby will be accompanied by its mother and a doctor on the flight to Cape Town.

I wonder whether they'll amputate one of the penises, and whether they can create an artificial ass? It won't live long if it can't excrete waste.
