St Mary's story

Tuesday Sep 23, 2008

This was by far the saddest story I had to do for my journalism, development and democracy course. I realised that children go through a great deal and then they are expected to be normal. But this isn't the case. They are forced to grow up rapidly when their mother dies because of drug overdose or when their father leaves the family with absolutely nothing. They literally fend for themselves and this sometimes means selling drugs or even themselves just to make a quick buck. Development journalism makes one aware of the dire need in SA and this story uncovers what needs to be done in order for the future of this country to be somewhat bright.
