Blame game as Eastern Cape schools fail to feed thousands of pupils after funding runs dry

--:--
Thousands of children across Eastern Cape schools are going hungry after schools
reportedly ran out of surplus funds to purchase food, sparking widespread concern
about the sustainability of the National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP).
According to governing bodies and educational unions, including FEDSAS and
NAPTOSA, the programme plays a vital role in encouraging school attendance and
curbing dropout rates. However, stakeholders have condemned the current failures
because of “poor planning and lack of accountability”. Phemelo speaks to Equal
Education Eastern Cape Head, Ona Matshaya.
