Hundreds of learners affiliated to Congress of South African Students (COSAS) in Gauteng are expected to march to the office of the Education Department in Pretoria.

Learners are demanding among others what they call “proper feeding schemes” at schools and the scrapping of the publication of matric results in the media.

COSAS provincial secretary, Khulekani Skosana says: “The standard of food that is given to students is not conducive and is not something that even the minister and MEC’s will eat on a daily basis.”

He says: “We are not saying they must feed learners with exotic food but must meet certain nutritious standard.”

Meanwhile, learners heading to the protest have gone on rampage in Thembisa, on Gauteng’s East Rand, blockading roads and stoning passing cars. COSAS has condemned such behaviour.
