The family of an Alexandra child, who was allegedly scalded with boiling water at a creche, said they were disappointed in the justice system after the case hit another delay on Wednesday.
The case against Reneilwe Leso was initially set down for pre-trial in the Alexandra Magistrate's Court, but the State told the court they could not proceed due to load shedding and other bail applications.
The then two-year-old boy suffered severe injuries to his legs and buttocks after Leso, 27, allegedly bathed him in hot water at Stepping Stones Daycare Centre in Alexandra, in January 2021.
