Cape Town - University of Cape Town (UCT) returning students staying in catering and non-catering residencies in mandatory isolation have apparently not received any food, and some have been served rotten food.
Ntokozo Mahlangu, EFF Student Command branch chairperson at UCT, said the food quality problem was not new at the university.
Mahlangu said late last year they raised concerns about the food quality served in their dining hall and the university dismissed those complaints claiming that they were campaigning.
In line with the Covid-19 regulations, UCT subjected all residence students to seven days quarantine on their arrival, and it became the responsibility of the institution to provide food to students in both self-catering and catering residences.
