STUDENTS at the University of Cape Town (UCT) have been left with a bad taste in their mouths after photos surfaced online showing flies in meals and expired yoghurt being served at residence dining halls.
Images shared by students this week show a dead fly floating in what appears to be a portion of stew served to a student, while another shows a tub of yoghurt stamped with a sell-by date that had already passed.
The yoghurt expired on May 30.
The images sparked outrage among students, who said the quality and hygiene of meals in residences have deteriorated.
