The KwaZulu-Natal education department has dismissed a social media post of a grade 1 pupil wearing a torn mask as 'fake news'.The KwaZulu-Natal education department has slammed a social media post of a grade 1 pupil wearing a torn face mask, in which it is accused of failing to provide personal protective equipment to the school.

“The learner in question came to school with a surgical mask and upon arrival was given two masks by the school. When the educator came back to the classroom, she asked why the learners mask was suddenly torn as it appears on the Facebook post,” said the statement. “The learner was advised against it and was asked to properly wear the mask that was given to her by the department. The Facebook post, that purports to be asking for donations because the school was not provided with masks, is both misleading and malicious and the department condemns and refutes it in the strongest possible terms.”
