The fact that Cape Town was found to have the highest statistics of missing children in the country has raised major concern. The Minister of Community Safety, Patrick McKenzie is very much worried about these results.

According to an issued press release from the ministry of community safety, when raising his concerns of child safety, the minister was quoted as saying that children should be taken care of.
"Children are defenceless, innocent, beautiful creations and they should be protected at all times. Most mothers have to work for survival and can't afford the luxury of staying home with their children and giving them all the care and attention,” said McKenzie

McKenzie urges community members to stand together and take responsibility by looking out for children. He appeals to parents to come forward immediately if they think that their child has gone missing.
