At least 130 girls from Bainsvlei Combined School were yesterday admitted to Universitas Academic and Pelonomi Regional Hospital following a food poisoning incident.

STEPUPSANEWS can confirm that the girls fell ill after eating stew served at the school hostel on Sunday.

This comes after a joint inspection by the South African Human Rights Commission and the Department of Labour on Wednesday, 6 May 2026.

The inspection followed a series of stories published by this publication regarding conditions at the school hostels.

At the time of reporting, the girls’ hostel was found to be in a far better condition than the boys’ hostel, which was in an extreme poor state.

Now, with girls aged between 9 and 18 hospitalised, serious questions are being raised about the safety and living conditions at the institution.

There are growing calls for urgent intervention by the Department of Education, with some community members arguing that authorities have failed to act despite repeated warnings.

This is the third time pupils from this school are admitted for food poisoning.

The situation is especially heartbreaking because many of the affected learners come from poor farming communities and often do not have strong representation or support structures to fight for their rights.

Subject: Help Us Dress Our Students for Success: Bainsvlei Combined School Uniform and sanitary care Drive.

Dear [Community Member/Parent/Local Business],
We're writing to you from Bainsvlei Combined School GHH. , where we believe every child deserves to feel confident and ready to learn. Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment for all students to thrive.
Right now, many of our students lack proper school uniforms, creating a barrier to their education and self-esteem. We're launching a drive to collect new or gently used school uniforms (shirts, trousers, skirts, dresses, etc.) in sizes, kids' 6-16 and sanitary care for girls.
Your donation, big or small, ensures a child can attend school with dignity and focus on their studies, not their clothes.
How You Can Help:
Donate: Drop off items at 16 Tempe/Kenilworth road 9301, groenvlei small holdings Bloemfontein during weekdays 09:00-15:30.
