Lesotho: Feeling the pinch of soaring food prices
JOHANNESBURG: Urban families in Lesotho, a small landlocked Southern African country, are struggling to cope with rising food prices, according to a recent survey.
Practically every household interviewed in a vulnerability assessment reported being affected by escalating food costs; more than half of urban households admitted borrowing food to get by, and more than 40 percent said they had been forced to cut down on meals.
