Four children aged between four and six years old passed away due to food poisoning in two separate incidents in Pretoria and Vosloorus on Thursday night. More than 200 cases of food poisoning involving children, resulting in 10 deaths, have been reported since February.

In the first incident two brothers, aged 4 and 6, died from food poisoning in Pretoria after sharing pap and soup at home.

According to the Gauteng Department of Health (GDoH) spokesperson Motalatale Modiba, this tragic incident happened Thursday evening.

“Two boys who are siblings died after they suffered from a suspected foodborne illness. They had shared a common meal (pap and soup) at home.

“The four-year-old was pronounced dead on arrival at Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Tshwane while his brother, the six-year-old, was unresponsive, foaming through the mouth and nostrils and eventually succumbed to the illness.”

He said another three-year-old boy who is a cousin to the two and was brought to the hospital with them, did not show any signs of poisoning and was discharged after observation. He did not consume the same food as the other two boys.

“The GDoH calls on parents and caregivers to exercise extreme caution to ensure the safety of their children.

“This comes after the surge in the number of food poisoning cases affecting children, particularly in townships, informal settlements, and hostels communities.”

Modiba said on the same night, in a separate incident, three children aged 3, 5, and 6 years from Vosloorus were brought to Jabulani Dumane CHC, presenting with symptoms of vomiting and body

South Africa’s liberation movement, the ANC, is announcing the coalition partnership that it has chosen today at 6PM.

Anyone who cares about South Africa should accept that the ANC should form a grand coalition government with the DA and many other parties so that it becomes everyone’s responsibility to govern and take ownership of actions taken and implemented.

Those who don’t want to be part of that government should be allowed to go to the opposition benches and oppose from there!

South Africa is Africa’s only genuine and unquestionable electoral democracy where elections are won and lost without the state apparatus being abused, as happens in countries like Zimbabwe.

The ANC must be applauded for accepting that it didn’t get a full mandate to govern and must be also applauded for willing to work with others regardless of its dominant liberation history. It is worth applauding this once again because it is important for South Africa’s future. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

The choices made by both the South African National Congress and the rest of the political parties elected to parliament must be based on national interest and the survival of the South African economy and democracy, not on wild and irresponsible rhetoric.

The biggest party in South Africa today is the ANC, followed by the DA.
That is what South Africans voted for, and logically, those two parties must govern together, including the other smaller parties.
They should do this if they care about South Africa and not push for one group of people to be disenfranchised through extremism.

The key issues to tackle in the next five years for South Africa are corruption, the economy, democracy, and political tolerance.
These can only be addressed if all South Africans come together to govern their country, irrespective of ethnic, racial, or political disagreements!

Those who care about South Africa and its future should support a grand coalition government that includes everyone if that is what is
