Residents of Zithobeni township in Bronkhorstspruit outside Pretoria are expected to march to the city centre this morning.
They say they are marching there to shut down all the shops and warehouses owned by foreign nationals that are selling food and snacks, which have resulted in learners falling sick after consuming them.
Yesterday, residents went from shop to shop removing packets of snacks and placing them in a heap before setting them alight.
About 25 learners from Mshuluzane Mayisela Primary School fell ill after allegedly consuming snacks purchased from street vendors outside the school.
Residents say the march will be a peaceful one.
