Western Cape Community Safety MEC Lennet Max says child abuse has reached crisis point in the province.
The MEC reiterated his earlier comments after visiting the mother of a three year old toddler who was found murdered in Khayelitsha last night.
The body of Viwe Mnenbe was found in bushes near her home after she was abducted on Thursday allegedly by her mother’s former boyfriend.
The suspect apparently demanded a ransom of five-hundred-rand but after payment was made, he contacted the girl’s mother and told her where to find her body.
The kidnapper has since been arrested and will soon appear in court.
Viwe is the second child to be murdered in the province in less than a month.
Earlier this month seven year old Nadine Jantjies’s body was found in Wesbank a day after she disappeared.
Nadine was found half naked, raped and strangled behind the Wesbank High School. A 33 year old relative of the girl has been arrested in connection with her murder. Nadine was laid to rest yesterday
