South Africa Food Security Index 2025

This report presents the South African Food Security Index 2025, commissioned by Shoprite and compiled by Stellenbosch University researchers. It shows a modest improvement in national food security with the index rising from 44.9 in 2023 to about 56.4 in 2024 but highlights ongoing hunger, uneven dietary diversity and persistent food insecurity across provinces. Key drivers include food affordability, access, diet variety and stability, with female‑headed households disproportionately affected.

Early hearing detection and intervention in South Africa

This article reviews the status of early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) services for infants in South Africa. It highlights that while EHDI programs are the global standard, most children with congenital or early-onset hearing loss in South Africa are not identified early due to limited screening, low awareness, and scarce services. The paper discusses prevalence, current practices, barriers to universal newborn hearing screening, and the need for improved early identification and timely intervention to support optimal developmental outcomes.
