Low price supermarket group Shoprite, has offered government tips on how to reduce food insecurity in the country. The retailer marked Marked World Food day on Monday with the launch of their Food Index, which revealed that almost half of the countries population will face food insecurity in 2025. Shoprite already does its part in fighting hunger by subsidising one million R5 bread loaves per week including selling R5 meals. The retail group says the government can make two immediate tangible steps to reduce food insecurity: Exempt food retailers from the Road Accident Fund levy on diesel used for generators, and Consider zero VAT on certain key commodities to further prioritise relief for citizens. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation(FAO) describes food insecurity as the lack of consistent access to food. People and households who have gone a day without food once or a few times a year have food insecurity.
