No food at 5 400 KZN schools

Thousands of KwaZulu-Natal pupils who rely on the National School Nutrition Programme are going hungry.

That’s because food has not been delivered since classes resumed on Wednesday.

Some pupils are even being sent home early because of this.

A teacher who spoke to eNCA on condition of anonymity, says it’s been a tough three days teaching hungry learners.

Parents have also spoken out, saying this is affecting them as they are struggling.

The previous suppliers are also questioning why the department would abandon a working system and award just one service provider a tender that is worth millions.

The Department of Education declined eNCA’s request for an interview but instead sent a statement that didn’t say much.
