Walker had conducted tests on sanitisers supplied to 10 schools in the Alfred Nzo District, with results showing alcohol contents ranged from 4.1% to 57.6%.

Legal action has been ordered against a company that supplied sanitisers to Makaula Senior Secondary School – where 204 pupils and staff tested positive for Covid-19 – for “defrauding” the education department.

The schools included Jolobe Junior Secondary School ; Nkulisa Primary School ; Mbodleni Senior Secondary ; and St George’s Senior Secondary . Education department spokesperson Loyiso Pulumani said the Rhodes University investigation into the sanitisers was commissioned by the department following complaints from various schools about the quality of the products.

Rhodes University’s spokesperson Velisile Bukula told News24 that: “Kindly be advised that Prof Walker is not prepared to talk to the media about this project. Kindly contact the provincial department of health for assistance in this regard.”
