Limpopo Premier Phophi Ramathuba says a forensic investigation has found that the death of three people last month at Ga-Maja , Mmotong-wa-Bogobe village, was caused by food contamination.
Several community members complained of symptoms including diarrhoea, severe headaches and stomach complications after consuming food at a funeral.
More than 70 people were hospitalised and have since been discharged. Ramathuba together with Limpopo Health MEC Dieketseng Mashego, visited the village.
