Bongani's friend this past week shared with him how upset he was at the audacity of a passenger on a plane who complained about a woman breastfeeding her infant. A fellow passenger, who was sitting next to the woman, wanted to change his seat, or have her removed from the flight.
"I could not believe that a passenger would cause such a scene over this. I mean, when he's hungry, does he not grab a bit to eat? What's different here? Why should a baby not be fed when they're crying for food? Why should they only be fed indoors away from prying insensitive eyes," says Bongani.
