17 September 2024- The North West MEC for Social Development, Sussana Dantjie and MEC for Treasury, Kenetswe Mosenogi, visited Neserhof abandoned baby at Klerksdorp/Tshepong hospital to check its health condition. On Tuesday, Dantjie and Mosenogi, who were accompanied by the mayor of City of Matlosana, Fikile Hlope brought a set of layette, including infant baby milk and pampers for the baby who is still receiving medical attention at the hospital.
During the visit, Dantjie asked social workers to compile a home circumstance report on the family of the abandoned baby and continue to provide them with counselling.
“So far, we appreciate the role that Rata Organisation, SAPS, the hospital management and other stakeholders have played in ensuring the care and safety of the baby. Let us work together to assist the affected family so that similar incident does not happen again.
“According to information that was doing the rounds on social media, the baby was swaddled in a blanket with a carton of milk and a few nappies next to him. The police were called to the scene. They took the baby to Klerksdorp/Tshepong Hospital,” she said.
