Drug dealers are now targeting KwaZulu-Natal primary school children, a Durban police spokesperson said on Thursday. He said the mainly Nigerian drug lords recruit runners to infiltrate the schools. ”It’s not only in Durban but in the whole of the province. There isn’t a school they do not target.”
More than 1Â 000 pharmacists and University of KwaZulu-Natal pharmacy students, chanting ”save our profession” and waving placards, gathered outside Durban City Hall on Thursday. The protesters said they were protesting against the ramifications of the government’s new medicine pricing laws and dispensing licences.
