Fifi is a food security activist who has worked tirelessly on her mission to alleviate poverty and make sure that no one in her community goes to bed hungry.


In June 2022, Fifi’s inner-city garden of 15 years was forced to close to make way for a multi-purpose centre. She was not deterred. From her new garden in Soweto, she feeds around 250 people a week, mostly from the local schools and old people’s homes. She encourages people to come to her and learn how to be self-sufficient.
