"One in five children in South Africa suffers from chronic malnutrition, according to a joint report compiled by the South African government and the World Health Organisation. A national food-consumption survey, one of several studies in the report, found that 50 per cent of households suffer from hunger. Half of the 3,120 children examined had less than half the recommended level of nutrients. Government estimates suggest that around three-quarters of South Africans have inadequate access to food. "

Would I be guessing if I said that more than one in five of those starving are not "South African".In the sense that they illegally immigrated South?? If I remember a few years ago, I think there was a chance to take care of all within SAs borders. Today I believe the borders are just lines on the map....
Your thoughts please.......
