BOYS TOWN
The Magaliesburg campus of Girls and Boys Town SA accused of not putting the interests of their male residents first.
The future of our world, lies in the hands of young people, yet many South African youth find themselves ensnared in a cycle of abuse and neglect.
For 66 years, Girls and Boys Town South Africa has purportedly been a beacon of hope in breaking this cycle.
But when an email from a desperate parent landed in #TheDeviShow’s inbox, detailing a tale of dire living conditions, rampant drug use, abuse and a seemingly nonchalant attitude by staff at the Magaliesburg campus, the team picked up the thread and stumbled on employees and former learners who all recount instances where the system seemingly fails young men – the same youth who needed the institution in their corner.
