Your journalist is very compassionate, Well done.

Where is the father? Where is social welfare? We need mobile clinics to service and care for our people.

Sux to know,it's sad that in other countries like NZ you can go on a dole and they will help you buy a washing machine or vacuum cleaner,that is what taxes are used for. Govt should do more as that is what taxes should be used for. If a country of 5 million like NZ can do it,then a country of 60 million can do better.

Can cartel Blanche open an email where we can pledge food/money for these people ? .

Exactly. Their values are so construed. Imagine giving your neighbor your last plate of food in turn sacrificing your own. It doesn't make any sense.

"Don't come here with your white logic! You just want to oppress us again you racist!" /s

The ANC doesn't care 😂 Welcome to Southbabwe

Don't forget about DA only taking care of the areas where white people live in cape town. Let's talk about the oil they found and they sold the cape town to the English people. AMC, EFF, DA is the same person

What/who is DA, VF, Inkatha, Action SA, BOSA, Kiss and others fighting for?

Agree, however, only the few who can afford will see this (not taking anything away from Carte Blanche - I'm a fan and applaud them), majority of people out there are in the dark (figuratively and literally) and will forever be in the dark kuba they are not informed or do not know the things happening around them and politicians take advantage of that. come election period you'll find them everywhere whereas they are nowhere to be found ngoku when they are needed most - wish everyone could see your stories

So true. This was heartbreaking to watch😢

EC will vote ANC again next year

No it is beyond heartbreaking.

I'm struggling to understand how can someone experience hunger in such wealth land.

You are the best person on this list, news makers is creating stories for them to use against ANC, rather than teaching people how to make food for themselves. if everyone was like you SA will not be hungry

@@bozzibozziana5366 I think you take for granted that everyone thinks on the same level. During apartheid all our vegetables came from our garden. We also had a few fruit trees that our vegetables were grown around. I had my own little patch that I tended. All we did once a month was buy our dry staples. I can tell you that most of our neighbours did not do the same. Whenever our garden yielded more than we could consume (like potatoes, tomatoes and mielies) we shared these with our neighbour's. My father was forthright to the point of rudeness. He asked our neighbour's why they did not plant. All he got were excuses. Fortunately back then, everyone was working and no one was starving. Today when I go back home, most people are unemployed and they are making more of an effort at growing their own food gardens. It's been over 20 years since my father has passed but they all say that they learnt from him. Perhaps we should get Afriforum to help these areas and teach them to plant, how to use save seeds from the current crops for replanting and how to harvest and store water. There's no point in berating people without teaching them. We therefore step in and help by whatever means we are able to.

@@bozzibozziana5366 Further to my comment above, it is ludicrous that you even attempt to absolve the ANC of their responsibility after 30 years of failures. They've killed our economy, driven away most of the investment which has resulted in the hunger problems our country faces. It's therefore disingenuous of you to accuse the creators of this piece that is highlighting a gross failure by government which is not only hurting but killing our people. Sadly, you miss the mark. Had government not interfered with their reverse racist laws, our country would be prosperous. It would have surpassed its potential. We would not have children dying of starvation. This should wound you deeply. It bothers me that it doesn't. It shows a complete lack of humanity and empathy.

@@bozzibozziana5366 they are news makers its not their responsibility to buy seeds and JoJo tanks and teach people to plant vegetables.

Wow 200 banana tree Is that 40km x 40km? SQ meters seems small for all those plants

south africa is a very rich country, with all the gold diamonds coal iron ore copper tin platunuim exports, not to speak of all the car companies, it gets all stolen by anc, i worked 40 years on gold mines and know how much gold the mine i worked at dispatched every week, i worked in the smelt house and know how much gold was poured most weeks, thats just on one mine, there are so mnay gold mines in SA

​@@eisbeinGermanythe thief's are stealing everyday living luxury's.

This makes South Africa look like South Sudan

Ask the people of our country who are in government positions.

There are jobs in the Eastern Cape but they hire immigrants. If these people sit back and watch their children die of malnutrition then they can't be taken seriously. I feel bad for them but only to a point. South Africans have first preference in all industries in SA. This makes no sense to me.

right? lol, ahhh the irony

They could have helped these people plant fruit trees, perennial vegetables and start community gardens. Do not wait for the government! What are all the unemployed doing to improve the situation? They have time on their hands to turn their area into a place of bounty.

This is very disturbing. I'm feeling so helpless. GOVERNMENT please step up If i dont eat for half a day. How does these people survive for a week??.

Wait until you see how 'fresh' his own kids look whist there's no money 😩🙆🏾‍♂️🚮

It's sad

While we were winning the world with all the glory people were and are starving in south africa.

What has the sa rugby team done for the less fortunate in South Africa?

​​@@pradeevdhora3650Soya Kolisi is Sthe current Springbok Captain i involved in many Charity Organisations and I am sure so are many of his team mates,if not all. The bottom line is that the long / medium term solution is for these rural people to plant veggies ,& fruit for the sake of their children. Where are their Community leaders to motivate and encourage them .

@@pradeevdhora3650 this country is very hypocritical

The Gift of the Givers ❤❤❤,🙏🙏😭

They are an ethical organization. So refreshing. They give me hope❤

@@leratolegoabe8397 most definitely

Very sad useless government register to vote people and vote this useless government out they really don't care about it us

People in the Eastern Cape need to vote them out. This was truly heartbreaking!

Exactly, so sad meanwhile the guptas are living the life of luxury at S A s expense in cahoots with we all know who.😊

True or best be arrested for these crimes

No. Taken away.

Criminally charged

They should be fired without any compensation and left to deal with poverty

exactly how can they receive fat pay checks knowing the majority of people are suffering

My thoughts exactly!

Not that easy

Great idea, but I'm sure the water shortages in that area will be challenging.

.. useless thoughts🚮

🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮people are hungry now. the kids must eat now. growing food does not always bring out food. and how long does a seed take before it can sprout, before it can eventually be ready for consumption 😩😭

Undoubtedly, Cyril will be shocked first and then blame apartheid!

Tier 1. This is systematic keep then hungry and bring out the food and shirts during voting season. Tier 2 Pay the corruptible ones who have jobs. Tier 3 Elect and promote those who support the oppression of others via these mechanics. Tier 4 MPs NEC and president level … we all know the story here.

Starving with all that green land, no single veggitable garden? no chickens in the yard? no ducks? aw ngeke this is just weird now..... It must be hard being the Government of South Africa, leading people who are sitting on their areses and expecting political miracles all the time...

​@@sandilemsibii agree. I grew up with the sound of chicken in the morning. We have become lazy. All this vacant land. Let the people feed themselves.

@@sandilemsibi Okay but suddenly there are no costs to farming or raising chickens?

And eff is more worried about foreigners while their own are starving

@@niloluthers3296 Anc, Da, Eff, they all care more about their parties then then rest of us.

Not crazy at all. After all this years under ANC rule, we know that they have zero empathy, zero conscience, zero humanity. It's about the self with this lot. Notice how they dress? What they drive? How they live? The size of them?

Under the cANCer of South Africa thousands upon thousands have lost their lives, dignity and dreams but change will come. It always does but unfortunately enough people first need to suffer to will that change.@@ravenblack7052

It's not a local government mandate you are looking at a national and Provincial government failures

Ja but who are you voting for???

I also looked at his full belly

This is sooo painful to watch

the bible teaches us that

It’s so easy to speak neh? You judgmental entitled human being

Give them food and teach them how to make their own. Realistically it will take weeks and months for crops to be ready for harvest

As hard as it is to say this, the truth is that the ANC government wants and needs people to be dependent on them. That is why they have ruined the education system so that people do not think for themselves anymore. The ANC thinks it is an achievement to have 27.3 mil + people on grants. It is a way for them to secure their vote. If people fear losing their grants they will keep voting ANC. Instead of teaching people new skills and empowering them so that they can look after themselves. But this causes people not to be dependent on the sate anymore and as they become more aware of what is going on they will see the African National Criminal organization for what they truly are.

I couldn’t agree with you more, people need to be taught how to work with their hands and go back to agriculture!!! People are so dependent in such a way that they can’t even think

They get selected and not elected. If voting worked it would have been ilegal.

And with this problem which is not new, they've introduced new laws for the agri industry forcing farmers to take on BEE partners. Pretty soon, the entire country will be facing starvation. These racist policies only help the connected cadres. It cannot be that we ended one racist government to be replaced by another! It's high time that we started fighting back with civil disobedience.

Lol they lied about apartheid

Unfortunately you asking the impossible where you go politicians are career criminals. They all about how much can they steal from national coffers and proclaim that they serving you

​@@ravenblack7052change goverment and stop the fat cats stealing our economy and our future. Lawlessness will help nobody. The only way is to vote them out. This is truly sad to see chidren suffering because of a useless goverment. My heart breaks seeing this happening and seeing the goverment just increasing their pay and stealing more and more and some people still vote for them. Truly a sad day in SA.

@@user-tg5iv1sz3jOnly you believe that

They Are terrorist what did you expect

True they are really doing a great job & they do not discriminate. They help everyone.

Yet they in EC R the biggest ANC supporters u get what U vote for

Starving with all that green land, no single vegetable garden? no chickens in the yard? no ducks? aw ngeke this is just weird now..... It must be hard being the Government of South Africa, leading people who are sitting on their areses and expecting political miracles all the time...

100%True

Charities are part of the problem there needs to be more self sustainability programs which educate them and give them the tools and resources neasesary

Tier 1. This is systematic keep then hungry and bring out the food and shirts during voting season. Tier 2. Pay the corruptible ones who have jobs. Tier 3 Elect and promote those who support the oppression of others via these mechanics. Tier 4 MPs NEC and president level … we all know the story here. of government.

sad ,sad@@bonganiyou

The problem of blind leading the blind or people serving themselves at your expense.

You know, that's also something that struck me while I watched this episode. This is emotionally taxing. I hope all journalists get the help they need🙏🏽💕

Yes. Its true. One needs support for the trauma....

@andilemajiki2203 Wow Andile, Thank you, you just wrote what many of us thought of when Govan held his head in his hands I broke down some more, this was hard, raw journalism, He will def need some Therapy afterward

@@debbieangel9376 honestly, it can't be healthy. Especially if it's repeatedly. Over time it can be affecting. I'm still being haunted by the images of the Special needs school.-He went there twice. I really hope those concerned do provide that kind of help.

@@lillybianca4185 Very taxing. You feel it beyond the screen. How much more with the person who see these with their eyes

Absolutely

Providing seeds , is there water skills , empowering them to supplement their grants and the food parecels

True we need both short term and long term solutions. Let's start an " Each One Teach One Garden Project " in our immediate environment. Just a suggestion.

Unfortunately in S.A. the poor and ignorant are sheep following the incorrect shepard. Lead by example the famous saying. So why can our government leaders have up to 11 or 12 wives and various leaders have between 6 to 15 children but the people cannot...these are poor non-educated ignorant people that do not have access to hospitals only clinics that do not have food never mind contaceptives or birth control or Dr's. Think outside the box mate!!

True

Yes atleast we see what they do. Many ppl in my town get 2 food parcels a month from them.

Not easy, but it help. It's better than nothing.😢

Need fence to keep livestock out

Do the clinics even have contraceptives? This last 3 years I have received so many calls of women looking for the injections because the clinic had run out.

And it's sooo cheap to start something to make one self efficient. Government is not responsible for everything, we've a capacity to start something.

@ephraimchaphi7390 exactly. My heart hurts for these children. Someone needs to educate these ppl about off grid living, it will improve their lives big time. Self sufficient is the way in rural villages, come on its not that hard

This is exactly the way into Zimbabwe. We might already be there.
