Very touching. I love small children. Optimistic in the most appalling circumstances. This is a lesson to us all.

How I wish all comments in Sowetan were so sensitive, mature, and dignified as the first 6 I found. For a moment I doubted that I was in a Sowetan website.

The language one usually reads here, including moral values and antisocial tendencies, are more spine-chilling than these pictures! I am truly proud of the six comments who demonstrated to international visitors especially to our website that there is a lot of good and maturity in our readers below the sometimes over-exuberant ranting that has been a regrettable and embarrassing trademark of Sowetan and Sunday World.

This is heart breaking indeed and the reason SA is not here it because other countries living conditions are worse than ours. Kids will always be kids.......Thanks Sowetan for reminding us that we must count our blessings.

It would be nice if the adults were half as ingenious as their kids. It is so very sad to see little ones in such awful, dangerous situations. Makes me want to go clean something
