Bongiwe Mbinqo-Gigaba says the committee does not want communities to be exposed to the possibilities of contracting the coronavirus.

The chairperson of the portfolio committee on basic education, Bongiwe Mbinqo-Gigaba raised her concerns about the Western Cape education MEC, as well as the premier, continuing with the National Food Nutrition Programme despite the lockdown.

Minister of Basic Education Angie Motshekga said last month that since the sector’s plan for the lockdown of schools, the school infrastructure, which consists of schools and teachers, was unable to feed children in communities during the lockdown. According to media reports this week, the Western Cape MEC for education, Debbie Schaefer, said the feeding scheme was to continue.

Mbinqo-Gigaba said the committee did not want communities to be exposed to the possibilities of contracting the coronavirus.
