An education lobby group and two schools in Limpopo have launched an urgent court application against the government for failing to roll out its nutrition programme to all students.
Schools have been shut for most of the lockdown period as part of the government efforts to limit the spread of Covid-19. The government has implemented a phased reopening of public and independent schools, with pupils in their final years of primary and secondary school given the green light to return earlier in June, and the rest in July and August.
“These families urgently require the [feeding scheme] to be reinstated to meet their children’s basic nutritional needs and ensure that they are able to buy other desperately needed necessities in the home.”
