Mwewa reportedly claimed on Monday, April 1, 2019 that since her indiscretions, she has found Jesus Christ. That being said, she wanted to apologise to anyone who might have been a victim of a 12-year baby-swapping misadventure.

Mwewa was quoted as saying: “I used to swap babies at UTH for fun”. I have terminal cancer and I know I will be dying soon. I wish to confess my sins before God and before all the affected people especially those who were giving birth at UTH during my service.” I have found God, now born again. I have nothing to hide, In the 12 years I worked in the maternity ward at UTH, I swapped close to 5000 babies” “If you were born in UTH between the years 1983 to 1995 chances are your parents may not be your biological parents. I had developed a habit of swapping newly born babies just for fun.” I am also asking Zambians to forgive me for the evil things I was doing to innocent children.”

It is not known if any parent has come up to protest the legitimacy of their child since Mwewa’s confessions.
