Operation Dudula launched the campaign at some schools in Soweto on Monday. “No South African child will be deprived of education in favour of illegal foreigners,” said Zandile Dabula, leader of Operation Dudula. Operation Dudula and other smaller like-minded pressure groups like March on March have defied government orders to halt their operations. Following the plight that foreign nationals have endured during the pressure group expelling them from clinics, apprehension has set in that schoolchildren of foreign nationals are to suffer. At a time when South African pressure groups are denying foreign nationals access to school and health, Zimbabwean professionals in these sectors have fled to South Africa.
