KZN Education MEC in school nutrition scandal
DURBAN - It's the children who will suffer, this is the warning from the National Association of School Governing Bodies.
It comes amid a controversy surrounding a Schools Nutrition Scheme contract in KwaZulu-Natal.
Education MEC Sipho Hlomuka is accused of influencing the bidding process to favour a company linked to him.
The Education Department is currently dealing with appeals and objections before finalising the contract.
But eNCA's Nkosikhona Malinga-Mnisi reports opposition parties want the SIU to investigate.
