Episode Synopsis

Over 200 cases of child malnutrition have been recorded at a clinic in Olievenhoutbosch Ext 13, Gauteng—despite a food bank just 40km away distributing 700 food parcels daily. We speak to Ward Councillor Kenneth Masha and Dr. Edzani Mphaphuli, Executive Director of Grow Great, about the crisis of hunger, access gaps, and what must be done to protect the health and dignity of children.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
