EDUCATION authorities in KwaZulu Natal are investigating allegations that pupils in Ziphembeleni Secondary School in Inanda, north-west of Durban, are fed rotten food.
KwaZulu Natal Education Department spokesperson Muzi Mahlambi said MEC Kwazi Mshengu has directed the National Schools Nutrition Programme to investigate allegations of the rotten food distribution at the school. Mahlambi said a video was sent to the department, showing a 5kg samp pack with dark spots all around.The director for the National School Nutrition Programme is investigating the allegation of rotten food at Eziphembeleni School. The department regrets such and if confirmed will not hesitate to take appropriate actions.Mahlambi told IOL that no child was reported to be sick as a result of the rotten food.“We will not hesitate to take drastic actions against the service provider,” said Mahlambi.
The National Schools Nutrition Programme is the government programme tasked to provide one nutritious meal to all learners in primary and secondary schools. A contract is handed to company’s that can either cook and distribute the food to the schools or sometimes the supplier distributes the food and the school gets people to cook the meals for the children.A variety of protein is served per week. Soya should not be served more than twice a week. Fats/oil, salt and flavourants are added to make the meals tasty. Fresh vegetable or fruit should be served daily.
This has been going on for far too long. And it mostly happens in rural areas, far from media to report..,, 😥
Especially when it’s a black government keeping the poor there.
