The father of the 10-year-old girl who died on Saturday night after complaining about chest and stomach pains has called on the government to conduct thorough inspections of spaza shops.
Her mother and her four-year-old sibling child who also consumed the snacks are in a critical condition at Edenvale Hospital on Gauteng’s East Rand.“Yesterday when I got home, I found my daughter eating snacks. She asked her mother to smell, the mother confirmed that they do not smell nice. I then told her to throw them away. However, she had already consumed them. She went to the toilet and came back complaining about chest pains. I held her up when she nearly fell.
Meanwhile, police in Gauteng say they have established a team of health experts to investigate the allegations made concerning the food consumed by victims. “The police in Gauteng have called for calm, while investigations continue after a 9-year-old girl lost her life after allegedly consuming what is suspected to be poisoned snacks. According to a report, the police in Alexandra responded to a call regarding a mother and two kids who were experiencing stomach aches. We have established a team of experts that are working with our partners in government, and they have already begun the investigations.
