Earlier this week, reporter Anders Kelto asked a student at COSAT why she had missed class. In perfectly measured tones, she told a truly heart-breaking story, and one that revealed some of the challenges of teaching in Khayelitsha.

The World’s Anders Kelto is currently working on a story for our “School Year” series about the dangers Lukhanyo and his classmates face on a daily basis on their way to school. http://ow.ly/kSn6q
