Anele says enough is enough

Anele Mdoda made an example out of car accidents, saying it is illogical to ban them because of car accidents. However, looking at the severity of school drownings, it is essential to look at the possibility of banning them.

"I know you guys will say, why don’t we ban cars because of car accidents, but really this swimming at school camps needs to be ended. It’s enough."

Mzansi discusses Mdoda's point

Although Anele made her point out of concern for school children, Mzansi seems to disagree. Many people are calling for swimming lessons to be prioritised at schools.

Others asked the teachers if they were present when the children were swimming.
