‘Hole in the wall’ for Estcourt?

Is there not any 24-hour facility in Estcourt that can accommodate such a "hole in the wall", instead of babies being dumped like trash

With regard to your previous articles on the baby that was dumped, “Stop killing our future – Mohamed Yameen Assur” dated July 10, 2015.

I know of two places in Gauteng, Vanderbijlpark and Randburg who have a “hole in the wall” the one in Randburg is called “Moses’ Basket” a place where unwanted babies are left anonymously without any prosecution.

It is to my understanding that the “hole in the wall” is safe and warm with a mattress and baby blankets, the mother leaves the baby there, closes the door to the “hole” and rings a bell to alert responsible people, letting them know that there’s a baby in the “wall”.

Is there not any 24-hour facility in Estcourt that can accommodate such a “hole in the wall”, instead of babies being dumped like trash and left to die?

Just a thought!
