School nutrition protest | KZN service providers not paid since March

PIETERMARITZBURG - KwaZulu-Natal School Nutrition Programme service providers are visiting the provincial education offices to inquire about payment.

They say they have not been paid since March.

The delay could have serious repercussions for the feeding scheme, with thousands of pupils possibly going hungry.

Thabang Mncwabe from the NSNP Service Providers Association said the non-payment has caused severe financial strain for the providers.

"They are hoping that today they're going to find answers and responses with immediate effect and payments will be affected before they depart from here," he said.
