14 million South Africans go to bed hungry every day.
28 million people are dependent on social grants and highest grant is R2400.
40.8 million people live below R2900 a month.

I genuinely respect General Khumalo and everyone charged by IDAC. They allowed the process to unfold without any interference. I truly admire their remarkable patience, even while enduring pain, humiliation, and threats to their livelihoods.
