NEHAWU is disturbed but not shocked by the results of a five year study, by the University of Cape Town's African Food Security Unit Network, that shows that 12 million South Africans go to bed hungry every day.

Since the 2007-08 global economic crises; this country has been struggling with rising food prices and more people have become susceptible to hunger. According to the 2010 UNDP report, 44% of workers in South Africa live on less than R10 a day meaning that they can barely afford a single loaf of bread a day.
