Answer:

The organization is calling on governments to urgently put in place social protection measures to uphold the right to food. The measures to address food insecurity could include food subsidies for those living in poverty, and directly providing food to those who are unable to provide for themselves.  

“With inequality and unemployment so high across Southern Africa, the majority of people live hand to mouth – meaning that they cannot afford to remain in lockdown for a week, let alone for a month, because they have no financial means to stockpile,” said Deprose Muchena, Amnesty International’s Director for East and Southern Africa.

“Without support from the government, the lock down could become a matter of life and death for those living in poverty. Currently, many are being forced to choose between complying with lock down measures and going hungry, or stepping out to access food and being penalized for it.”

The daring and prompt decision of the government of South Africa to shut down the Covid 19 pandemic has made the region one of the strongest in the world.

Explanation:

  • Millions of people in South Africa suffer from hunger as lock-downs in the area to help curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic prevent them from accessing food. With inequalities and joblessness so high across South Africa, many people can't keep locked for a week or even for a month because they don't have financial resources to stockpile
  • A detailed disaster management plan is demonstrated by the Covid-19 financial support package for R500 billion, introduced to minimize the socio-economic impact of the pandemic, and to ensure food security all through the lock-out phase.
  • The govt had announced the outcome of applications for R 1.2-billion in "financial aid" for "small-scale farmers". over R500 million has been earmarked to ensure that the food production continues even during the  lockdown. It comes as millions of impoverished South Africans are unable to access food.
  • R20 milliards will be earmarked to municipalities. for emergency water supply, public transport, food supply and homeless people's shelter In order to ensure that aid is available to citizens sooner, "South African Social Security Agency (Sassa)" has a technical approach in mind to introduce food assistance on a scale by way of vouchers
