The Maqaqa family with the Green Village community is looking for justice after a 1 year 7 months baby died due to suspected fits, seizures at a daycare center in Green Village on Monday.
A close friend to the family Portia Majola said she was informed trough a message that the baby experienced fits, seizures before she passed away.
Majola said she later uncovered that the cause of death could be because of suspected forced feeding after her niece brought a video clip that showed one of the caretakers from daycare allegedly forcefully feeding the child.
The angry Green Village community accused the daycare of being dishonest.
They marched to the daycare demanding it to be shutdown.
Their request is for the daycare to be closed while the family is in mourning.
