A disturbing video showing minors consuming alcohol in the presence of adults in Ngqamakhwe in the Eastern Cape has led to swift intervention by the Department of Social Development. The department says the household where the incident occurred has now been identified, with social workers deployed to assess the safety and well-being of the children and to support the affected family. Authorities have also opened a criminal case under the National Liquor Act, while Social Development says its focus remains on child protection and prevention. Joining us now to unpack the department's response and the latest developments is Mpumzi Zuzile, Eastern Cape Social Development Spokesperson.
