🚨 SHOCKING REPORT: MORE THAN 14 MILLION SOUTH AFRICANS ARE GOING TO BED HUNGRY AS OVER 1,000 CHILDREN DIED FROM MALNUTRITION LAST YEAR, RAISING FRESH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COUNTRY’S GROWING FOOD CRISIS
South Africa is facing a deepening hunger crisis, according to the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), which estimates that around 14 million people regularly go to bed hungry.
The report also reveals that more than 1,000 children died from malnutrition last year, highlighting the devastating impact of food insecurity on vulnerable families across the country.
Researchers say poverty, rising food prices, unemployment and inequality continue to leave millions of households struggling to afford enough nutritious food. They are calling for stronger interventions to improve food access, protect children and strengthen social support programmes.
The findings have reignited debate over whether enough is being done to tackle hunger and child malnutrition in South Africa, with many calling for urgent action from both government and the private sector.
What do you think is the biggest cause of hunger in South Africa, and what should be done to address it?
