This follows the arrest of a cake seller after 16 Ikusasalethu High School pupils in Soweto suffered food poisoning after eating so called “space cookies,” which are also known as dagga cakes, and were subsequently rushed to hospital last week. They have all since been discharged.“We wish to call upon MEC of education that they must start registering all people that are selling at the schools. Because once you know who is selling and who is selling what, you would be able to avert such things.
Two learners have been suspended for allegedly helping with the sale of “space cookies”. Gauteng Education spokesperson Steve Mabona says the suspended learners – who have been released into their parents’ custody – are to face a disciplinary hearing. “The two learners that were suspected to have sold the said cakes were then apprehended by the police. But then released because of them being minors. We also understand that the woman, who owns the cake business, was also arrested and detained at Dobsonville. The two boy learners were suspended with immediate effect. They will be appearing on February 24 at their disciplinary process.”
