[FOOD JUSTICE]: An assessment finds that 87% of products in retail stores would be classified as unhealthy

‘Africa is facing a runaway hunger problem, with 25% of South African households food insecure – that’s one in four,” Maverick Citizen editor Zukiswa Pikoli said at a webinar on Shopping & The Cost of Living Crisis in South Africa: The Reality of South Africa’s Retail Giants.

“Things are so bad that in March this year the South African Human Rights Commission will be conducting a national investigative hearing into food systems. This is aimed at addressing systemic, structural and economic causes of hunger despite national food sufficiency.”

SA produces enough food, yet hunger is rising. 10k children die each year, and we still don’t have a final Food & Nutrition Security Plan. For #SONA2026, HEALA stands with @UAH_za: publish the NFNSP, raise grants above R855 & stop food profiteering.
