The Former Miss Universe and Food Forward SA are calling on thousands of citizens to sign a petition to convince the government to implement a Food Donations Policy.
CAPE TOWN – Former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi and Food Forward SA are calling on citizens to help end hunger in South Africa.
They’re looking for at least 100,000 people to sign a petition to convince the government to implement a Food Donations Policy.
“Currently South Africa is one of the few countries in the world that do not have a Food Donations Policy. Because of this, we see over 10 million tons of good quality food getting lost or being wasted annually,” said Tunzi in a video posted on social media.
“Now in order for the Parliament to even look at this policy, we would need about 100,000 signatures,” she explained.
