Government's decision to suspend food sales at schools criticized

First Take SA

Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia has strongly criticized the government's decision to suspend food sales within and around school premises, citing increased divisions and hardship for South Africans. The movement says with an alarming 39.9% unemployment rate among Black African women, informal trading is often a necessity for survival, rather than a choice. Dr. Dale McKinley, member of the Coordinating Committee, and spokespersons for Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia discusses the implications of this decision with Elvis Presslin
