South Africa couple's joy: 'Reunited with our baby after 17 years'

A couple is celebrating being reunited with their long-lost daughter, 17 years after she was snatched from her mother's bedside as a baby in a hospital in South Africa.

Parents Celeste and Morne Nurse kept daughter Zephany's memory alive, celebrating her birthday every year.

Their three younger children blew out the candles on the birthday cake of a sister they had never met.

They were finally reunited with her, after she was enrolled in the same school as her sister.

The BBC's Ed Thomas reports.
