New opinion piece by leading voices from HSF partners
Can we solve hunger in South Africa?

Siya Kolisi, Captain of the South African National Rugby Team, with his wife Rachel. Together, they started the Kolisi Foundation, now actively engaged in food support initiatives to alleviate hunger. The Kolisi Foundation also partners with the Nelson Mandela Foundation and others in the #Each1Feed1 project supported by the HSF.

Full of practical examples of encouraging initiatives, the concise text provides a wealth of information and crucial food for thought.

The authors take a solution oriented approach that shows how - if and when stakeholders come together - significant change is indeed possible.

They conclude:

"South Africa’s hunger problem is now better understood, and can be solved through flexible and collaborative action from government, NGOs, faith-based organisations, the private sector, economists and communities. The necessary expertise and knowledge are available in South Africa, as are trusted conveners, organisers and problem-solving methodologies.

What is required is good leadership to act on this momentum, and more recognition of the dangerous link between hunger, violence and national development."
