Food Security in the area

KwaDwesi is next to Kleinskool and is located in Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Forming part of the Red Location housing completed after the realisation that there was a growth in the urban black population in apartheid South Africa, this settlement is undocumented and not represented. 

Burdened by chronic and hidden hunger

COVID-19-related measures are likely to continue to affect households through the prohibition of movements – as 65% of the respondents reported these restrictions as challenging. The continued increase in food prices is likely to increase the levels of vulnerability among households in the Metro, especially among the 49% of the households that reported lack of money to purchase food and non-food items. Over-reliance on purchased foods with rising food prices is likely to diminish household purchasing power.
