ANC warns of nutrition scam

SCHOOL nutrition programmes, vandalism and a lack of partnership between schools and stakeholders were some of the concerns raised at a meeting at a Port Elizabeth primary school on Friday.

ANC chief whip Mzoleli Mrara, who chaired the meeting at Missionvale Primary School, said although the challenges at the five schools he had visited during the week were "very different", they had the same problem with "someone misleading the schools saying they must make use of suppliers for groceries for nutrition programmes at the schools".

Mrara is conducting a special schools intervention programme, which started on Thursday.
