Trade union Solidarity’s Helping Hand Fund is hosting a conference tomorrow to discuss crime against children in South Africa and the murder of Sheldean Human.
Deputy General Secretary for Solidarity, Dirk Hermann, said that the emotion, protests, and action surrounding Sheldean’s murder needs to be taken further.
“We want to look more in depth at crimes against children. We hope that this conference will help. If we can only help one child through this conference, it will be great,” said Hermann.
A report will be discussed that looks at various elements in the Sheldean case study in order to address greater problems of crime against children, according to Hermann.
The report found that more than three children are murdered every day in South Africa, and a child is raped every 24 minutes.
The conference will take place tomorrow afternoon on Thursday at Tuinrand Primary School, Pretoria Gardens.
