  2. Why is South Africa allowing toxic products to be sold to it's citizens? The producers of these products sold to mainly black people should not be allowed to continue operating. ALL The families affected should be compensated, and the company fined heavily. This type of thing doesn't happen in the EU because they are very strict about the health of their citizens. South Africa government, both provincial and national stop failing your primary population.

  4. This thing is politically motivated. How come only children? Do adults not eat it too? The DA must be questioned! They are determined to remove the ANC, EFF, Action SA coalition and will do anything. Mark my words, the DA is somehow involved! They must be looked into and questioned!
