The Congress of South African
Trade Unions has called for the stop of alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
This destructive practice is
known to cause foetal alcohol syndrome.
Furthermore, Cosatu called for
the prosecution of farmers involved in the notorious dop system, which has been
linked to higher rates of alcohol foetal syndrome.
Cosatu's Tony Ehrenreich reported that there should be an inquiry into farms and farmers who implemented
the dop system and thus getting people addicted to alcohol.
This enquiry should lead to
the imprisonment of farmers and their farms sold to fund the compensation to
the affected families Ehrenreich emphasised.
