 ZIMBABWEAN COUPLE DEPORTED OVER SECRET BURIAL OF CHILD IN BOTSWANA A Zimbabwean couple has been deported from Botswana after secretly burying their child without notifying authorities. Motilinah Mpofu and Christopher Ncube were convicted on Thursday of concealing a death after they allegedly dug a grave for their child in the dead of night. The Gaborone court heard the child had died suddenly. Instead of reporting the death to police, health officials, or traditional leaders, the couple quietly buried the youngster and hoped no one would find out. But the secret did not stay buried for long.   Police moved in and arrested the pair. In sentencing, the court ordered that the couple be taken to the Plumtree Border Post for deportation to Zimbabwe.  Top Botswana lawyer Winnie Masitha who offered the couple free legal representation during the trial, confirmed the deportation to BTV News. Masitha believed that the matter should not be viewed only through the lens of crim...

SALE OF ENERGY DRINKS TO  KIDS UNDER 16 BANNED IN ENGLAND


The sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to children under 16 is to be banned in England from April next year in a bid to cut childhood obesity rates.


Under the new rules, it will be illegal to sell drinks containing more than 150mg of caffeine per litre to anyone under 16. The ban will apply across all retailers, including online, in shops, restaurants, and cafes.


Vending machines will also face a total ban on the drinks to prevent under-16s from circumventing the restrictions.


Drinks that breach the limit and will be included in the ban include Red Bull, Monster, Relentless, and Prime. 

These products already carry manufacturer warnings stating they are not recommended for children.


Tea, coffee, and lower-caffeine soft drinks such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi will be exempt from the new restrictions.


Up to a third of children in the UK consume at least one energy drink every week, with boys being particularly high consumers. 

Some of these drinks contain up to the same amount of caffeine as two cups of coffee or four cans of cola.


Public Health Minister Sharon Hodgson said: 

> “High-caffeine energy drinks have no place in children’s hands.


> We know thousands of kids in England consume them daily but the evidence is clear that this can cause anxiety, affect their sleep and concentration and can have a detrimental impact on their education.

> 

> This ban will reduce children’s opportunity to buy drinks that are harmful to their health and wellbeing, and demonstrates our firm commitment to creating the healthiest generation of children ever.”


The ban follows a public consultation which received nearly 1,100 responses from businesses, public health organisations, enforcement bodies and members of the public, with strong support for introducing an age restriction.


Business-to-business sales will be excluded from the ban.
