Mahikeng- North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo has called on communities and sectors to unite and partner with government in creating safer and healthier environments for children to thrive.

“Everyone should play their part to stop child abuse, neglect and exploitation. We wish to remind our communities that failure to report any known form of abuse committed against a child constitute an offence,” Premier Mahumapelo appealed in his Child Protection Week message.

Mahumapelo  who is turning 46 today will on Monday celebrate his birthday with homeless children at the Kagontle Child Care Centre in Montshiwa.

He had distributed tracksuits and shoes to 40 children at the shelter and shared his birthday cake with them when he celebrated his 45th birthday last year.-TDN
