Don't be reckless about childcare - Mbalula
25 May 2017
Cape Town - Parents should not be reckless about who looks after their children, Police Minister Fikile Mbalula said in Elsie's River on Thursday, where the locals are still grieving the murder of Courtney Pieters.
"You must understand that when a case of that nature happens, it is a case where in which parents also must take responsibility for children, as guardianship," he said after cutting the ribbon on a satellite police station parked in the Adriaanse Civic Centre's grounds.
"Parents must not be reckless, because today you can't even trust your uncle. You are looking at the uncle, smiling with the uncle, the uncle is seeing something from an innocent girl.
"So children and families must guard, especially girls. The society we live in has become so cruel, and sick."
