Food poisoning kills street kid

A 15-month-old street kid, Ashley Macheka, died at the Harare Magistrates? Courts on Thursday morning from suspected food poisoning while eight others were rushed to hospital in an ambulance after they had eaten contaminated food from a bin.

A City of Harare ambulance was called by police officers at the courts to take the critically ill street kids to hospital. All of them were vomiting and hardly able to talk.

The group of street kids had rushed to seek help at the courts from their nearby base, a sanitary lane close to Ranch House College, across Rotten Row, after realising the food they had eaten was causing severe stomach problems.

The nine kids, including the now deceased, all of them girls, sat by the main entrance to the courts crying for help. They were gasping for breath and writhing in pain.....

He said the food had been taken for forensic tests and investigations were in progress.
