Lack of food security for poorer communities made worse by lockdown

CAPE TOWN – 
The national lockdown made the lack of food security among poorer communities worse and the government will this week provide details of further action to provide food to vulnerable and destitute people who cannot afford to buy food, President Cylril Ramaphosa said yesterday.
Over the past three weeks there have been distressing images of people clamouring for food parcels at distribution centres and of community protests against food shortages.
Many non-government organisations did, very early in the lockdown, warn about the impact of the lockdown on already fragile food security among vulnerable communities.
