The City of Cape Town would like to encourage Early Childhood Development, centre operators to ensure that they have security in place over the festive season to mitigate the risk of vandalism and theft.

Suzette Little says… “At the end of the day it is the children that are attending that centre who suffers the most, ironically the perpetrators are very often related to those children they are depriving”

“I suppose a case could be made for even tighter security but we simply do not have the budget for it nor do many of the private ECD who run their facilities from non city sites’’ said Suzette Little.

‘’What we need to do is make communities see the value in education for their children and why destroying their chances for a better life is a terrible idea” she added.
