Despite a constitutional right to food, a comprehensive social
security structure, being a net exporter of agricultural products
and maintaining a rising GDP, freedom from hunger remains a
pipedream for millions of South Africans. With a constant surge in
food prices, the availability of sustenance is often seriously
threatened for all of South Africa's population. While the
underprivileged majority residing in townships often demonstrate
their discontent for poor service delivery on the streets, they
rarely channel this strategy into taming food inflation. This study
seeks to understand this irony and examine ways in which this trend
could be reversed. Proposing a compelling argument for food
activism, Bright Nkrumah suggests ways of mobilising disempowered
groups to reclaim this inherent right. Presented alongside
historical and contemporary case studies to illustrate the dynamics
of collective action and food security in South Africa, he draws
from legal, social and political theory to make the case for
'activism' as a force for alleviating food insecurity.
