Cape Town - The Department of Social Development has stepped in after MEC for Social Development, Albert Fritz, has assigned a team of social workers to investigate whether the little girl and her four-month-old sibling were being abused and neglected after an officer found the children alone at home.

The children were outside a patched shack which was filthy inside, and the girl told the officer that she had been told by her mother to look after the baby. “We escorted Council electricians into Hanover Park when I saw this tiny girl, approximately four or five years old, with a baby on her hip,” the officer says.
