Tongaat Hulett and eThekwini Municipality Commemorate World Food Day

Tongaat Hulett and the eThekwini Municipality have formed a partnership to donate food hampers to child-headed households in and around the Tongaat area in commemoration of World Food Day 2020.

As many countries and communities around the world struggle to deal with the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the organisers of World Food Day launched a call for all social partners and governments to support the most vulnerable communities and make the food systems more sustainable.

In response to this call, eThekwini Municipality and Tongaat Hulett took a decision to partner and focus their support on mainly child headed households.

Nkonzo Mhlongo, the corporate affairs executive of Tongaat Hulett Sugar, stated that the company was committed to creating value for all its stakeholders.

“Our decision to partner with eThekwini Municipality was to ensure there was no duplication of effort and that our interventions targeted the poorest of the poor.
