Fears Cape children vulnerable to predators and Covid-19 over longer school break

The province has become notorious for the high number of children killed and raped and school holidays are usually the time when they are most vulnerable.

How will those reliant on school feeding schemes eat?” “If given sufficient time to spread within school communities, children then become vectors to elderly, HIV-positive and TB-infected adults at home, who are immuno-compromised and extremely vulnerable.”
