Help parents reunite with their children
Help these children find their parents
Child Welfare South Africa is working hard to find the parents of three children who have been placed in a home in Roodepoort. The children were separated from their parents under various circumstances. As mandated by the children’s commissioner, organisations such as Child Welfare South Africa have to actively search for the children’s parents. The home the children are currently staying in cannot be identified, in order to ensure the safety of the families involved.
Child Welfare is looking for the biological parents of the three children. The first child they want to help is Maria Nonceba Mgandela, who was born on 12 July 2008. Her mother’s name is Nokulunga Nora Mgandela. Details about the father are unknown.
The organisation is also trying to locating the mother of two boys, Mario and Wilson Msimango. Mario was born on 4 July 2004 while Wilson was born on 1 January 2007. Their mother is Elizabeth Msimango. Mario’s father is Razao Makhuvhela and Wilson’s father is Anton Mashayile.
Nonhlanhla Ntshaube, who works for Child Welfare South Africa, explained the procedure and added that parents cannot just arrive and take the child.
“Placing an advertisement on a medium which reaches a wide audiences helps. The purpose is to find the children’s parents and reunite them.
This is what is required from us by law. The children can be removed from their parents today but they need to return to their parents if circumstances allow. There are procedures that need to be followed before a reunion between parent and child occurs, as the children were taken away from their parents because they were judged to be unfit to take care of them,” she said.
