The teachers who are between the ages 40 and 45-years-old and who teacher at Gugulabasha Primary School in Mpumalanga allegedly loaded food in their vehicles. 

When police went to investigate they were refused the right to do so.  The police then went to obtain a search warrant which allowed them to proceed and search the cars.  

Colonel Leonard Hlathi said they found groceries that were stashed in the cars of the teachers and it led to the arrest.

“It is a call that we making to all the teachers around the country to say food meant for feeding scheme not for teachers to take it to their houses, but you need to give it to the impoverished communities because some of the schools were declared non school fee,” Hlathi added.
