South Africa Counts the Cost of Food Waste | READ ARTICLE HERE: https://studentlivingsa.co.za/south-africa-counts-the-cost-of-food-waste/

By Matlou Setati: Executive: Food Safety & Sustainability Initiative, Consumer Goods Council
of South Africa

Food is at the heart of South African life. It brings families together around pap and stew, unites friends at a braai, and celebrates the country’s diversity and heritage. Yet this same food culture is under threat. South Africa is wasting and discards over 10 million of tonnes of food annually while millions face hunger and food insecurity. It is against this backdrop that the country is turning the spotlight on one of its most urgent challenges: food waste. This paradox demands urgent, collective action. To confront this crisis the Consumer Goods Council of South Africa (CGCSA) in partnership with the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) will host a landmark Food Safety and Sustainability Seminar on 29 September 2025 at Protea Hotel, OR Tambo, coinciding with, the United Nations’ International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste. The gathering will bring together government officials, academics, businesses and civil society to reflect on the scale of the crisis and the opportunities for action.

The Report’s Findings

Titled Municipal Mismanagement, the SCAB report highlights systemic issues ranging from cadre deployment and procurement fraud to weak leadership and chronic underspending. These challenges, the campaign argues, have left municipalities ill-equipped to provide reliable access to water, electricity, sanitation, and other essential services.
