ANC asks moms not to dump babies "ANC"GOVERNMENT ON THEIR KNEES ASKING THE MATHERS NOT TO DUMP THEIR BABYS WHAT IS THIS!

Johannesburg - The ANC in Gauteng implored new mothers who did not want their babies to stop the "horrendous" practice of dumping them in the veld, dustbins and pit latrines, in response to a picture in The Times on Wednesday of a dead baby found in Soweto.

"We want to build a caring society, it cannot be correct that the future generations are dumped like garbage. We equally do not understand why people rush to dump babies when they can take those babies to orphanages for adoption," said provincial spokesperson Dumisa Ntuli in a statement.

They understood that women faced difficult situations, but there were alternatives like legal abortions, prevention, family planning, and use of condoms, as well as seeking advice from hospital social workers.

"Therefore it cannot be compassionate that innocent babies are (arbitrarily) dumped in bushes, toilets, pit latrines, rivers. We must end the tragedy of infant abandonment and give affection and support to babies."
