A food rescue organisation called SA Harvest celebrated just a year anniversary since its launch and recommitted to fighting and ultimately ending hunger in the country.
The organisation that is on a mission to obliterate hunger in the country while ensuring that every single person can access enough nutritious food daily started small just last year, even though there had been a great need.
Over 19 million people in South Africa faced the possibility of experiencing hunger on World Food Day while in comparison, about ten million tonnes of food gets wasted each year, and that is more than enough to feed The Whole country, let alone to meet the ever-increasing need in vulnerable communities around SA including Soweto, Protea Glen.
The man behind the ambitious goal of ending hunger, Alan Browde is a passionate campaigner of the fact that in SA it is every person’s constitutional right to have access to enough food.

Browde said that this constitutional right is not being withheld and the state must make sure that this right is withheld.
While the growth for the organisation was a little bit slow at first, delivering at least 5000 meals a week with a single refrigerated truck, but then the global pandemic took place and the figure had to go up to 60 000 meals a week with five trucks.
Complacency was shattered by COVID, as individual corporate consciousness woke up to what’s happening.
The number of hungry people in SA having increased by 30% to 18 million is the reason why people had to wake up and come together.
Daniel Makole from Soweto said, “We have to come together in combating hunger, help wherever we can because it is embarrassing that while other people are living good lives, other fellow South Africans die from starvation.”
