In poorer communities in Gauteng, the reality of desperate, hungry people fighting to stay alive during the nationwide lockdown is stark.
This is the experience for Education Africa's founder and CEO, James Urdang, who does community work in townships across the province.
Urdang said he recently drove past thousands of people queuing for food parcels outside a mall in Orange Farm. Regulations prohibited them from serving any cooked or prepared meals, and only allowed them to distribute non-perishable foods which they had to deliver to recipients. Yaseen Theba, from the Muslim Association of South Africa , said there had been a growing demand for food across Gauteng.
