Western Cape MEC of Social
Development, Albert Fritz, welcomes the arrest by the South African Police
Services of a Tubelitsha mother near Delft on charges of child neglect and
abandonment.
Fritz says the Department of
Social Development has a zero tolerance policy to the abuse of children.
He said that the children aged
one, three and nine are placed with a safety parent.
“We have however learnt that
the mother has subsequently been released so we will follow that up with the
police and find out why the mother was released from custody.” Fritz said.
“Delft sent out a message to
all parents that they must take the safe keeping and the wellbeing of their
children seriously,” added Fritz
