Let’s end the hunger crisis

President Cyril Ramaphosa is running out of time to deliver his promised new “social compact” for South Africa.

When we give food, we give dignity. When we give dignity, we give hope. When we give hope, we nourish our society.

Siyabuya stands behind Djo BaNkuna, the self-styled “cabbage bandit”. BaNkuna is doing what Siyabuya is urging all South Africans to do – helping to feed the country’s starving millions.

The Siyabuya movement has appointed a high-powered advisory panel of experts who will help guide the development and rollout of campaigns to help South Africa recover from the economic devastation caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The crisis of looting, rioting and death, which threatened to destroy us only weeks ago, now holds the promise of following another path down which lies hope and the opportunity to be better than we were before.

There’s a growing gap between what people earn and the cost of the most basic of food. What the state chips in to help is falling significantly short.
