What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A food supplier in Mpumalanga faced business failure after his contracts with the health and education departments deteriorated. The supplier, who had provided food to seven hospitals and over 8,000 children, was shut out of both departments. He is currently fighting a R15 million legal claim against the province after his restaurant was forced to close.

The case illustrates how profitable food supply contracts can turn into legal disputes when relations with the provincial government decline. One instance cited was a delivery in March 2020 valued at R509,000 that went unpaid by the education department.
