Alexandra creche abuse: Boy left in ‘agony’ after being scalded
A teacher of the young class is understood to have become enraged when the young victim soiled himself. They then used boiling water on the child’s body to clean him, leaving the boy in crippling pain and unable to walk properly.
Gauteng Department of Social Development spokesperson Feziwe Ndwayana finally broke the local government’s silence on the matter – more than two months after the case was initially reported. He spoke with Radio 702 host Bongani Bingwa on Thursday, explaining that the creche has now been shut ‘for the next five days’ while investigations continue

Johannesburg - The Gauteng Department of Social Developmentâs decision to reprioritise R83 million from dignity packs to food parcels during its special adjustment budget has reportedly left thousands of underprivileged school learners stranded.
The departmentâs reprioritised millions were directed to food parcels during its special adjustment budget for the 2020/21 financial year. This came as a result of the hard lockdown which had a devastating impact on a number of residents of Gauteng.
Last year, the department assured the public that pupils would still receive their supplies. The department said in quarter one 37 387 dignity packs were delivered to grades that were available in schools and more grades would be provided with dignity packs upon their return to school.
