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 Africas childcare system, which is to end institutional care and move children into family-based care, such as foster care or reunification with relatives.
