Department of Social Development 2019/09/04 - 22:00



The case of a woman caught on camera viciously beating toddlers was postponed to 13 September again by the Oberholzer Magistrate Court.

The trial of a 40-year-old Nellie Senwametsi, who is facing a charge of assault of children at Ninnie's Neuron's Nursery, will resume soon after her defense collected all the evidence.

Investigations by Gauteng Social Development have revealed that the Early Childhood Development Centre (ECD) was operating illegally and it was immediately shut down.

A woman outside the court who asked to remain anonymously said the court should also consider the woman who recorded the video for her to be prosecuted.

The state prosecutor said the case is not at the trial stage yet because the defense asked more time to gather information.

According to media reports the videos of the gruesome assaults were recorded last year and only came to light this year and led to an uproar. As soon as they were circulated on social media, parents rushed to the creche to remove their children.​​
