 The Limpopo Department of Education has temporarily suspended food sales in and around schools due to a surge in alleged food poisoning incidents across the province. 

This precautionary measure aims to safeguard learners' health and well-being, especially during the examination period.


The decision comes after reports of food poisoning incidents, including one at Makahlule Primary School, where 22 learners were rushed to a nearby clinic for treatment. Unfortunately, a 15-year-old learner from the Mogalakwena area lost their life due to alleged food poisoning.

The Limpopo Education MEC, Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya, has been engaging with the community to address these concerns, including visiting schools to monitor the start of the National Senior Certificate Examinations.
