The Department of Social Development (DSD) warns parents and caregivers to be extra careful about their children’s location during the festive season, especially in public areas such as beaches and shopping centers. Children being inadvertently left behind on beaches is a recurring issue, but the DSD has implemented protective measures like the IdentiKidz project to ensure their safety. The DSD advises parents to seek help from law enforcement in case of unfortunate incidents and to celebrate responsibly to ensure a memorable and joyous festive season.
