Children hospitalised after falling ill at school
Forty-five children have been transported to hospital after falling ill at a school in Botshabelo, Bloemfontein, on Thursday.
ER24 spokesperson Chitra Bodasing says the pupils fell ill yesterday after they were fed funeral food in the afternoon and evening.
"The children complained of stomach cramps, diarrhoea and vomiting," she said.
Free State police spokesperson Constable Peter Kareli said police were not aware of the incident as it had not been reported to them.
The exact causes of the children's illness is yet to be established.
