The Cape Town NGO has been receiving daily complaints of child abuse in the community of Delft.

Delft has been known for its high level of abuse and gangsterism. The NGO has received complaints of rape, assault and neglect.

The organisation this week will be embarking on a campaign to educate locals and raising awareness about child abuse.

About 80 Ma-Afrika Tikkun caregivers conducted door-to-door visits.

They explained what abuse is, what signs to look out for and handed out pamphlets with details of organisations that could help.
