The Western Cape Department of
Social Development has urged parents not to dump their babies but rather find
help with the department.
This follows an incident whereby
police found a body of a new born baby dumped in a bush in Delft
Dumping of babies has increased in
recent month in South Africa
Ministerial Spokesperson Melany Kuhn
said there are structures in place, there are channels through which help can
be given.
Kuhn added that it still remains the
responsibility of the parents, to care for their children and that
responsibility can never be outsourced to the state.
She added that however help is
available where people need it, in certain circumstances.
