The Western Cape social development MEC does not have a legal duty to ensure the day-to-day safety of children in places of care, the Constitutional Court held on Friday.

Her father then approached the Constitutional Court to apply for leave to appeal. The matter was heard in February.

He also argued that the MEC had a legal duty to ensure that reasonable steps were taken to ensure the safety of children on school premises. “Since there was no duty on the [MEC] to inspect playground equipment, nor to ensure the safety of the children on a daily basis, the question whether a breach of such a public duty translates into a private law duty does not arise in this matter,” Tshiqi said.Tshiqi said the father raised a constitutional issue.
