The South African government continues to support vulnerable populations with food assistance as the continent’s most impacted nation continues to ease lockdown measures.
On Wednesday, large crowds lined up Laudium Township, near Pretoria, for food as the financial impact of the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc.
Families received food parcels and maize meal, as well as products to protect themselves from the virus such as masks, soap and disinfectant.
Government restrictions imposed to curb the spread of COVID-19 have led to shortage of day jobs.
An unmanageable situation for the country’s poorest people, who live from day to day.
