The electric fence at the Ernest Malgas drug rehabilitation centre in Red Location is no longer working, resulting in some of the drug-addicted children escaping.
It has one working geyser and a non-functioning clinic.
Residents also drink openly close to the centre, according to sources.
The centre was opened in April 2016.
