17-year-old Zephany Nurse in the care of social workers

Western Cape MEC of Social Development Albert Fritz has called for all parties involved in the case of 17-year-old Zephany Nurse to be responsible and not make unnecessary comments.

Nurse was snatched from her mother’s arms at Groote Schuur Hospital in 1997 and was only reunited with her mother last week Thursday.

Her parents and the Hawks managed to track her down after some of her school friends noticed a resemblance between the teen and her younger sister, who attends the same school as her.

Zephany is currently in the care of social workers.

MEC Fritz said unfortunately all the reports and people making comments about her case is not a contribution to getting her mind in the right state of mind.

Fritz said I have assigned three very senior social workers to the case and a legal representative to really act on her interest up to the point when she becomes 18 years of age which is in a months’ time.

“At this point I will protect her and really make sure that her best interest is our main priority” Fritz added.
