Over 2 000 learners tested positive for Covid-19 this month alone, and youth - who are supposed to be at home during this time - have taken to roaming the streets and begging for money at the entrance of shops, while others have been put to work as hawkers.
There seems to be little to no supervision of learners in Rundu, who are currently on a winter break until 26 July.
Driving along the B8 road in the town, children of school-going age can be seen manning makeshift stalls selling various items, and despite the Covid-19 regulations, most go maskless and forgo sanitising and washing their hands.
