it's delicious
could i be feeding about 250 people and
there isn't food at home so
we come to the place where they can give
us and provide for us
it's estimated that nearly a quarter of
south africans
go to bed hungry every night and these
figures are from even before the covet
19 pandemic
which has led to millions more south
africans losing their jobs
and so speeding schemes like this one
are nothing new
but what makes this one different is
that all the food we see being served
today
was saved from a trip to the incinerator
so what's the story
[Music]
nationally south africa wastes about
12.6 million
tons of produce a year so this year
nosh managed to rescue about a thousand
tons does anybody want chili's
please go and get chillies
[Music]
so we collect from retailers we collect
from farmers from restaurants hotels
from from suppliers you know wherever
there's going to be surplus
we try to plug that into this massive
network of hunger in south africa
after leaving the market the food is
brought here at a place called the shea
house where it will be prepared
for collection i'm actually
rescuing this cabbage from the states it
was to making it eat everywhere
we have a very strong policy at shifts
with compassion of zero wastage
so you'll see that anything that can't
be used and is not fit from human
consumption
will be collected by pig farmers in the
area so we're also supporting local pig
farmers
and also making sure that absolutely
nothing does go to waste
[Music]
with the schools close the need is more
because
the children is hungry there's no bread
at all the people is not working
feeding the community it's a joy that
nobody can express you know
a child that you know that doesn't have
coming in by the gate
what are your plate empty plate and
going out of your water plate
full of food that makes me happy
you
