Africa Matters: Baby saver boxes banned in South Africa's Gauteng
In South Africa, the Gauteng social development department has banned baby saver boxes, saying they promote abandonment and trafficking. But groups running the projects say the boxes provide a safe, humane option for desperate parents, while offering a lifeline to some of the 3,500 babies abandoned in the country every year.
