Guest: Dr. Simphiwe Dlamini - Lecturer at the School of Physiology at the University of Witwatersrand

At least ten million South Africans didn’t have enough food or money to buy food in 2019, according to Stats SA. Our next guest has conducted a study looking at the impact of food insecurity and mental health in the country. One of the gaps he indentified was our understanding on the impact of households’ coping strategies on mental health. Such strategies include eating less, borrowing or using credit, and even begging for food on the streets.
