Departmental spokesperson, Tidimalo Chuene said the NSNP will resume on 27 January to prepare hampers to the value of R273 per learner.
“The hampers should include all specified menu items, delivered in their original form and packaging. Schools that participate in the nutrition programme using the decentralised model will directly procure food stuff for their learners.”
Chuene said schools will directly communicate with parents and caregivers on when learners can come and collect hampers. Learners relying on learner transport to reach schools and also benefiting from the nutrition programme will be transported to school to receive their hampers.
