Police rescued 18 children who
had allegedly been held hostage at a church near Ngcobo in the Eastern Cape on
Monday afternoon.
Eastern Cape police
spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Mzukisi Fatyela, said
“The
children stay in the church. We had to forcefully enter the church to recover
the children aged between 3 and 13 years.
The children don’t go to school and some don’t
even have birth certificates. It’s alleged that they were not allowed outside
the gates. When you are staying at that church you don’t leave the church, the
Department Social Development had been investigating the church for months.”
