Guest : Andre Viljoen | founder and owner at Woodstock Brewery |

South Africa’s strict nationwide lockdown having kept the country indoors for almost four weeks, every non-essential business has had to close its doors.
The restaurant industry is one that’s been hit the hardest, resulting in immediate job
losses and the scarcity of money to buy basic food.
In addition to the health crisis, South Africa has a hunger crisis on its hands and some
restaurants have picked up the cudgels to feed those who need it most.
From Beer to Soup. One of Cape Town’s most well-known beer brands, Woodstock
Brewery, is in the process of turning its brewing facility into a soup kitchen, where it will
cook food for poverty-stricken communities.
