We all know how widespread the Dop System is, right?
Wrong.
Fewer than ten per cent of labourers interviewed have been ever been exposed to this system. But these aren’t facts that sell newspapers.
Neither are the other, harsher truths about Foetal Alcohol Syndrome:
De Aar has an 80% unemployment rate and almost 100 shebeens; many of them operating of the back of bakkies which travel between farms.
There are only two traffic lights in De Aar; yet this town has a problem with street children.
Just think: If alcohol had been invented now, it would have been banned immediately.
