DURBAN - INANDA’S Ziphembeleni Secondary School was rocked by allegations that pupils were fed food on Monday with maggots – for the fourth time this year.
Last month, a video of a 5kg bag of samp with maggots, alleged to have been taken from the school s kitchen, was circulated on social media.
Although the incident was investigated by Department of Education officials last month, as directed by MEC Kwazi Mshengu, and the department had concluded that there was “nothing wrong” with the food, another video showing amasi (sour milk) that was allegedly served for lunch on Monday – with live maggots – surfaced.
