COMMUNITY MATTERS – LAUNCHING GAUTENG TOGETHER TO HELP ADDRESS COVID-19 FOOD AND SOCIAL INSECURITY

Yesterday marked the launch of Gauteng Together, an initiative calling for the establishment of Community Action Networks (CAN) across Gauteng to address the social impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The project was initiated by The Angel Network, the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation and CONECKT, and is supported by a range of organisations, individuals and local community volunteers. The initiative, which was pioneered by Cape Town Together, is being adopted in Gauteng in response to growing concerns over food insecurity, hunger and other social challenges impacting negatively on the lives of people due to the lockdown.Guest: Neeshan Bolton – Director of the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation
