“Feeling hungry makes you feel inferior to the people around you. It affects your concentration. You start to look for ways to find food. I don’t think students should be worrying about food. Students should be students.”
Steven (name changed to protect identity) has been brave in sharing his experience of facing food insecurity as a Stellenbosch University student. His story has a happy ending because he finally received a bursary due to his strong academic success, which covered all the costs of his studies – including his food. Watch the full video here.
