Namibia: Nine Youth Development Trainees Suffer Stomach Upset After Meal At Rundu Centre
[Namibian] Nine trainees at Maria Mwengere Youth Development Centre at Rundu sought medical attention after experiencing stomach aches and diarrhoea following food served at the centre on Monday.
Nine trainees at the Maria Mwengere Youth Development Centre in Rundu experienced stomach aches and diarrhea after eating food provided by the centre on Monday. The trainees, consisting of three men and six women, consumed potato and carrot salad, rice, apples, beef stew, and chicken stew before falling ill on Tuesday. Johannes Kahonzo, one of the trainees, mentioned that the stew tasted funny when he ate it, but he continued eating.
He and eight others sought medical assistance at the Nkarapamwe clinic on Tuesday. Kahonzo suggested that the food may have been prepared early and left unrefrigerated for some time before being served, possibly leading to spoilage due to the hot weather. Muronga Abaldus, another trainee who also received treatment at the clinic, claimed that the meat served was spoiled, though he acknowledged they couldn't be certain the food caused their illness.
Despite not being seriously ill anymore, the trainees are taking medication provided by the clinic. AllAfrica reports this story, which is sourced from multiple news organizations and individual contributors, each responsible for their own content.
