“What you see at this press conference is a giant that is rising, and that is tackling this issue of hunger very seriously” - Mark Heywood - CoFounder of Union Against Hunger

“The Union Against Hunger is a movement of movements. Its only agenda is to tackle hunger, and we are a people’s movement.” - CoFounder of Union Against Hunger

“We are focusing on Shoprtie as it makes its profits off the backs of poor people. They need to share the wealth and profits not only with the shareholders, but to their workers as well.” -

“Tomorrow we will hold 28 different pickets on 7 different provinces.” - CoFounder of Union Against Hunger

“Mass hunger in the shadow of a country that produces a lot of food. It does not make sense. 10 000 children are dying a year because of malnutrition. That is 30 children a day” - CoFounder of Union Against Hunger

Mam Nini Myeza is one of AFRA’s Agroecology Champions.

She is a passionate and skilled agroecology farmer sharing her knowledge and practice with other farmers in her area through the Vuka Siphile community-based Agroecology Learning Site.
Vuka Siphile is one of a number of learning sites being established across the uMgungundlovu District bringing agroecology closer to farmers on the ground, and providing training, mentoring, and support where it matters most.

Mam Nini serves as an inspiration to us at AFRA, but more importantly to her community, to other farmers, and to farm dwellers across our District. Mam Nini, we salute you.
