MEN ACCUSED OF SELLING SPACE MUFFINS TO CHILDREN APPEAR IN COURT
Two men, Amukelani Nyulunga (19) and Ofentse Maluleka (21), appeared at the Soshanguve Magistrates’ Court today. The men are facing 9 counts of attempted murder, for selling muffins laced with a substance with narcotic effect, to children.
It is alleged that on Wednesday, 20 September 2023, the two sold these muffins to school children from Pulamandibogo Primary School in Soshanguve Block Y. It is further alleged that the children started vomiting, experiencing stomach cramps and behaving strangely at school. The school principal then called the ambulance, which took the children to the clinic and transferred them to hospital for further observation. Some of the children are still in hospital. The two were arrested the same day and were remanded in custody.
The matter was postponed to 29 September for addition of charges and a possible formal bail application.
