Concerns are being raised about the safety of children who sit alongside various women on Joburg’s busy intersections.
There have been reports of a syndicate which rents out babies to beggars.
Two women have told eNCA that the children they sit with aren’t their own.
Social workers in the city of Johannesburg have their hands full.
More women can be seen sitting on the streets, small children in hand.
It’s the safety of these little ones that’s worrying officials.
The City of Joburg is saying that from a legal standpoint its hands are tied.
The question remains: what else can be done to support women and children who end up on the streets?
