Restaurants opening their kitchens, farmers donating fresh produce, people giving away the little they have — South Africans are rallying around those most affected by the lockdown.

Almost half of all adults in SA are living below the “upper-bound poverty line”, according to Stats SA’s latest household survey.

In Orange Farm in Gauteng this week, more than 100 families received food parcels, thanks to the Ubuntu project, a collaboration between the Green Business College and small-scale farmers in the area. “We will create a database so that there is a record of who received what, and with a WhatsApp group the farmers will support the families as they grow their gardens,” she said.“Food security means so much more than just food on the table. It touches the core of human dignity,” she said.Image:One of the farmers involved in the project, Tim Abaa, said priority is given to child-headed households, the elderly and people living with disabilities.

• 30 - The number of beneficiaries of the Nosh food rescue in Johannesburg • 103 - The number needy families that received fresh produce in Orange Farm this week For Hanneke van Linge, who runs the Nosh food rescue programme in Johannesburg, it is a relief that restaurants that have been closed since the lockdown are beginning to open up their kitchens, where food can be prepared for the needy.
