The connection between hunger and exploitation

 

HUNGER CAN MAKE PEOPLE VULNERABLE.

When someone has nothing, a promise can sound like salvation.

“There's a job waiting for you.”

“You can make good money.”

“We'll provide accommodation.”

“We'll take care of everything.”

For someone desperate enough, those words can sound like an escape from poverty.

But sometimes the promise is a trap.

Human traffickers know that vulnerable people can be easier to exploit.

That is why fighting trafficking isn't only about arresting traffickers.

It is also about tackling poverty.

Creating jobs.

Educating young people.

Giving vulnerable families support.

Making sure people have somewhere safe to turn when they need help.

Protecting people means reducing the desperation that criminals exploit.

South Africa's hidden hunger

 

SOUTH AFRICA HAS FOOD. SO WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL GOING HUNGRY?

This is one of the hardest questions we need to ask.

South Africa remains a major food-producing country.

Yet millions of people still struggle to afford enough nutritious food.

Statistics South Africa's latest poverty analysis found that approximately 10.8 million people remained below the food poverty line in 2025.

Behind that number are families making impossible decisions.

Food or electricity?

Transport or groceries?

Pay the bill or feed the children?

Hunger isn't always visible.

Sometimes it is a child arriving at school pretending everything is fine.

Sometimes it is a parent saying, “I'm not hungry,” because there isn't enough food for everyone.

A country cannot truly prosper while millions of its people are struggling to afford food.

WE CANNOT CHANGE THE WHOLE WORLD.

 

But we can change someone's world.

We can give a hungry child a meal.

We can help a child get the stationery they need for school.

We can listen to an elderly person who feels forgotten.

We can teach a young person about the dangers of trafficking.

We can support a family going through a difficult time.

We can give someone a reason to believe that people still care.

It doesn't have to be thousands of rand.

It doesn't have to be a huge organisation.

Sometimes it starts with one person deciding:

“I will do something.”

Never underestimate what one small act of kindness can mean to someone who is having a terrible day.

**You may not be able to change the whole world.

But you might change someone's world today.**

SOMETIMES THE NEWS IS TERRIBLE.

 

But sometimes there is a small piece of good news hidden inside it.

This week, two South African girls who had allegedly been trafficked to Malawi came home.

They were found.

They were protected.

People worked together across borders.

And they were brought back to their families.

It doesn't erase what happened to them.

It doesn't undo the fear or hardship they experienced.

But it does remind us of something important:

People can make a difference.

Authorities can cooperate.

Communities can speak up.

Organisations can help.

And vulnerable people can be found.

There are still many children who need protection.

Many families who need food.

Many communities that need opportunity.

So let's not give up.

Because sometimes, after a very dark story,

someone comes home.
