Two girls have died of suspected food poisoning on the outskirts of Mahikeng in the North West.

Reports say they bought snacks at a local tuck shop in Ramosadi village.
The girls died on Friday after apparently complaining of stomach pains.
Provincial police spokesperson Adel Myburg says, “Two girls got sick at a local school; one is eight years old and the other one is ten years old. The school took them to the local clinic; unfortunately, the eight-year-old passed away. According to the initial information received, the elder sister, who is ten years old, indicated that they bought snacks at the house in Ramosadi village. After eating the snacks, apparently they experienced stomach cramps and aches when they got to school.”
