702’s Bongani Bingwa speaks to Andrew Millson, Managing Executive for People and Sustainability at Food Lover’s Market.

Listen below:

Food Lover’s Market has teamed up with FoodForwardSA for its 2025 Hunger Month campaign.

It aims to provide eight million meals to vulnerable communities across South Africa in May. 

Customers pledge their support at till points with as little as 50 cents towards buying a meal, and Food Lover’s Market will match the number of customer-donated meals.

“Nearly 14 million people go to bed hungry every night in South Africa.” 

– Andrew Millson, Executive for People and Sustainability – Food Lover’s Market  

“We’ve raised 4.4 million meals through our suppliers before the campaign even started… And now it’s really down to our customers… whatever you can, donate a meal.”
