Dear editor, The problems that African children face are numerous and child labour is among them. In Africa, children doing adult jobs are a common sight and more action has to be done. This problem has been lingering around for centuries and is steadily increasing in Africa. Using young children for labour is unacceptable and wrong. Overcoming this problem will require cooperation on both, the side of the governments and parents. Those who employ children as laborers should stop immediately because it is unlawful. Kabeza
