Police Probe Suspected Deliberate Food Poisoning At A Primary School In Zvimba

Eight learners at Matoranhembe Primary School in Murombedzi, Zvimba District, Mashonaland West Province, fell sick on Friday in a case of suspected food poisoning.

It is alleged that a parent of one of the learners deliberately poisoned the rice and soup and gave her daughter instructions on how to share the food.

Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident on Sunday, saying the learners started vomiting while complaining of stomach pains after they ate rice and soup packed in a lunchbox. He said:

The Zimbabwe Republic Police reports that investigations are underway in connection with a case of suspected food poisoning which occurred at Matoranhembe Primary School, Murombedzi on 07th June 2024.
Eight pupils allegedly started vomiting while complaining of stomach pains after they had consumed rice and soup which had been packed in a lunch box. The pupils were ferried to Murombedzi Rural Hospital for treatment.

Investigations carried out by the police revealed that a fellow school pupil brought the lunch box which contained home-prepared food after being given two lunch boxes by her parent.
The parent gave her instructions on how to share the food.

Comm. Nyathi added that additional information will be provided in due course as the police investigations progress.

the reporting and statements are already biased when investigations are still in progress. with hunger all over, and some children said to be fainting in schools, the parent may have thought of helping some children by giving an extra container with the child. it is just like the foreign food aid which gets contaminated by the way it is handled, and no-one blames the donor. a lot of conspiracy theories are made to stop people from worrying about more important things with the newspapers and journalists making money before investigations are completed. when investigations are complete, it may be found that the event was not newsworthy

Rice is poisonous when cooked overnight and then reheated again the next day, if it was cooked the same day then pane nyaya. The container too must be analysed some don't clean these lunch boxes t****ughly.
