Ahead of South Africa's National Child Protection Week observed next week, Deb Zelezniak, the Chief Executive Officer of the Santa Shoebox Project says Early Childhood Development (ECD) practitioners are not babysitters.

They are trained professionals who safeguard a child's right to survive, thrive and grow into their full potential. ECD centres are frequently underestimated as simple drop-off points for working parents. But for the 1.7 million children attending them, these facilities are the first line of defence in protecting their rights.

To discuss this further is Deb  Zelezniak joining Peter Ndoro.
