Education activists and some schools are taking basic education minister Angie Motshekga to court after she “backtracked” on a promise to reinstate the National Schools Nutrition Programme

The scheme was abruptly stopped in March when schools closed as a result of the nationwide Covid-19 lockdown.

In late May, with the announcement of the phased reopening of schools, the director-general of basic education undertook that the NSNP would, from June 1, be rolled out to all pupils, including those not physically attending school. This meant that at one Limpopo school, for instance, only 74 out of 503 pupils would be fed. At another, only 32 out of 298 pupils would receive the daily meal.

MbuyiseniNdlozi This is too much 😭😢 The statement that since the country has gone to level 3 lockdown GBV and Femicide has increased says that “some” South African men need to literally be placed under house arrest in order to stop or curtail GBV and Femicide. That’s quite an indictment. What's happening!! This is unacceptable!!
