Guest: Nomzwanele Mngoma – SABC journalist in the Eastern Cape (She will talk about her experiences covering the poverty stories)


Guest: Corene Conradie – Gift of the Givers Coordinator in the Eastern Cape (She has been on the ground a lot, seen homes with no food, also knows about the mama who killed her children last month, hungry school children in very desperate situations)


Guest: Muziki Solana - Spokesperson for the Department of Social Development in the Eastern Cape
Guest: Mugwena Maluleke - General Secretary of  South African Democratic Teachers' Union 

One sad province in our country is no doubt the Eastern Cape. You may remember just a few weeks ago that a mother poisoned her three children then took hr own life. This comes just a month after another mother in the same province also killed her three children and committed suicide. Police and some of the NGOs suspect this has to do with poverty and hunger. What exactly is going on in the Eastern Cape and just how bad is the hunger situation? Also what sort of intervention programmes are there from government?
