11 million South African children face stunting because of poor nutrition

SAfm — 11 million children in South Africa are at risk of developing a condition known as stunting because of poor nutrition. Stunting is when children do not develop at the same pace or level as their peers do. The high rate of child poverty and stunting has prompted the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights to raise this as a priority for government. One of the ways in which government is trying to remedy this problem is through the child support grant. But as Krivani Pillay asks, is this enough to save the country's children?
