About 60 pupils from the Suid Heuwels Primary School in the south of Johannesburg were rushed to hospital on Wednesday after complaining of stomach cramps and vomiting.
Two of them were admitted in a critical condition.
It’s understood an unknown man has been distributing the sweets to pupils at several schools in the south of Johannesburg.
Lesufi says his department is working with authorities to track down the suspect.
“We are monitoring the situation and have issued communication to all our schools to be alert, so that children in school premises don’t accept anything from strangers around the school premises.”
