I am convinced that food security for all will be the one issue on which we will be able to garner consensus in this House. A recent report that 12 million or 22,7% of South Africans have insufficient access to food has shocked our nation. For the greater number of South Africans who are gainfully employed, it was unthinkable that such huge numbers of citizens were going to bed hungry. The uncomfortable truth is that, while South Africa is food secure as a country and as a nation, an alarming number of people are not getting sufficient nutritious food.
