Hunger in South Africa
Hunger is a crime against the people of South Africa, with the country's Constitution guaranteeing access to sufficient food (section 27) and basic nutrition for every child (section 28).
This makes every individual in South Africa, including children, a claim-holder on the state to ensure access to sufficient food and basic nutrition.
Anyone who is hungry or malnourished in South Africa is suffering a violation of this fundamental human right, as acknowledged by the South African Human Rights Commission.
The right to food is being violated for millions of people, not just on World Food Day, but every day.
The Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance, University of Cape Town, invites you to shape their future priorities by taking a five-minute survey.
Author's summary: Hunger affects millions in South Africa daily.
