Nwabisa Wophula makes it look easy to cater for hungry residents in her Eastern Cape district.

There is only one rule in Nwabisa Wophula’s house: The cooking must continue. Recently, she and her husband Odwa celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary by serving 500 meals to children and the elderly in Flagstaff, a small town in the Eastern Cape.

The team from SA Harvest dice, slice and cook for hungry residents of Lusikisiki in the Eastern Cape. “When you see all those people who have nothing, you can’t not cook for them,” she said. “I have to do this.” SA Harvest CEO Ozzy Nel says the team members helping Wophula are all formerly unemployed graduates from the area. They had recently graduated from their training in food production.
