THE FUSE

Hope and practical support reached subsistence farmers in Kariega within the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality today as Deputy Minister Nokuzola Capa led a distribution of gardening implements under the National Department of Agriculture’s Food Security at Household Level Programme. The initiative focused on improving household food production through direct support to communities that rely on small scale farming for survival and nutrition. Farmers received tools that help them expand and maintain productive home gardens. The programme aims to strengthen food access at household level while building long term resilience in vulnerable communities. It reflects a wider national effort to reduce hunger through sustainable, community driven agriculture.
