Daily Digest | DA raises concerns about proposed plan to phase out child and youth care centres

The DA has raised concerns about a proposed plan to phase out child and youth care centres (CYCCs) by 2030. The plan was discussed at the 2025 Johannesburg care reform summit hosted by the department of social development (DSD) in partnership with Hope and Homes for Children. The department agreed to a major change to South Africa’s childcare system, which is to end institutional care and move children into family-based care, such as foster care or reunification with relatives. It said there would be an immediate ban on children under the age of three in children’s homes. Jones Netshipise and Mpho Mashita talk to Political Analyst, Leeto Briggar about how the foster care system works and what other countries practicing it have experienced.
