ActionSA in the Eastern Cape has called for an investigation into incidents of suspected food poisoning in parts of the province.
The call came amid reports that 120 learners from two schools in Komani were admitted to health facilities week after taking ill after eating snacks bought from spaza shops.
The Eastern Cape Health Department also reported on Thursday that 55 learners from a school in eDikeni, formerly Alice, were admitted to a hospital with a suspected food-borne disease, while 11 learners from a school in the Debe Nek area were treated in a Keiskammahoek hospital earlier this week.
Department spokesperson, Sizwe Kupelo, said tests were being done to determine the cause of their sickness.
