Battle to enforce children’s rights continues

Thousands of high school children were against a decree, which forced all black schools to use Afrikaans and English in a proportional mix as languages of instruction.

Years later the battle continues from living through the barrel of a gun, to no access to proper nutrition and as well as denial of a host of basic rights. The continent marks the Day of the African child at a time when Botswana has ‘woken up to’ issues of child protection than ever.
