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.”
It seems our government wait for court decisions to take the right decision. They dont know toilets & water r needed in schools, now this feeding scheme thing s no longer provided for needy learners....? Ag mann no...
Turns out the ANC is pure evil. The so-called struggle was never about the poor, but about the power for the few. Like any other group that promotes socialism.
Sanity prevails
Why should a 'caring government of the people' and 'the leader of society' always find itself in the courts to restrain it from harming the interests of the poor? Trust deficit growing. TheQueenMzansi News24 SABCNews MYANC ParliamentofRSA PresidencyZA
