The number of child murders in the Western Cape has decreased from 48 in the third quarter to 39 in the fourth but children’s rights organisations contend that the province’s youth continue to face a number of challenges, according to the latest crime statistics.Last week, Police Oversight and Community Safety MEC, Reagen Allen, said that the number of children killed in the province was 20 fewer than over the same period of the previous year.
‘We want to ensure that residents live in improved, safer and dignified environments. We are making strides, but there is a long way to go. As the crime statistics show, fewer children are being murdered, but we still have a long way to go in ensuring that all residents, particularly our children, are free from fear,’ added Allen.
‘Because of rising costs and inflation, this means a cut in real terms of between 20 to 25%. Designated child protection organisations are now at breaking point. It’s the worst it has ever been,’ said van Zyl.
