The grandmother of the five-year-old boy who passed away in Diepkloof in Soweto yesterday says the family is reeling from shock after the tragedy.
Sekai Ndalimane says her grandson took ill after allegedly consuming snacks bought from a local spaza shop.
This comes as food poisoning-related deaths continue to grow at an alarming rate in Gauteng.
Ndalimane says her last encounter with her grandson was when he was asking for money to purchase the snacks.
In less than 30 to 45 minutes, his mother called and said Mama can you please come? Siyabonga is not feeling well, he was completely out vomiting. When we get to the hospital they took him to the room and investigated and that was that.
