Gender differences in knowledge about Covid-19 among youth in post-secondary education and training institutions in South Africa
Evidence shows that improved understanding of knowledge about COVID-19 transmission, symptoms, and prevention is crucial for effective epidemic preparedness and management. Given gender differences in vulnerability and the different ways that young people responded to the pandemic, this paper investigated gender differences in COVID-19-related knowledge among youth in post-secondary education and training institutions in South Africa. Data from 6…

Gendered attitudes to fruit and vegetable consumption during the Covid-19 epidemic
Existing literature suggests that increased consumption of fruit and vegetables is not only important for general health but is also critical for the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases. However, consumption of fruit and vegetables in South Africa remains low and gendered, with women consuming more vegetables because of social and cultural reasons.Using the gender and development approach as a theoretical lens, this paper explores…
Women informal food traders during Covid-19
Varied roles of informal food traders, ranging from localised distribution of foods to provision of jobs, became more accentuated in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa. While women might be the majority of informal food traders, they are more likely than men to suffer a heavier burden of the adverse outcomes, due to structural, social, institutional and administrative biases. This article draws from a survey of 840 informal food…
Factors influencing innovation among small, micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) in marginalized settings
Achieving inclusive outcomes through innovation is such that small, micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) can no longer be ignored. This study aims to investigate the determinants of innovation activities among SMMEs in a developing country context using evidence from South Africa. Using the binary logistic regression model, this paper analysed a dataset of 643 SMMEs located across eight district municipalities in South Africa. The study findings …
Access to Information Technologies and Consumption of Fruits and Vegetables in South Africa
Extensive evidence indicates that fruit and vegetable (F+V) consumption leads to reduced chances of diet related non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, the F+V consumption levels remain low. This paper investigates the extent to which access to information technologies improves F+V consumption in South Africa. A nationally representative sample of 20,908 households was analysed using the Poisson and logit regression models. The study results …
Technology adoption and household food security among rural households in South Africa
Innovation for Development in South Africa
South Africa’s National Development Plan entrenches the importance of a capable developmental state for the country’s social and economic development. Likewise, the potential of science, technology and innovation to address development challenges is emphasised. The developmental state and inclusive innovation ideas have been in and out of the policy agenda since 1996 but have recently gained renewed policy attention. As part of an inclusive innov…
The Impact of Entrepreneurial Competencies on Household Food Security Among Smallholder Farmers in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa
This paper investigates the impact of entrepreneurial competencies on food security among rural farming households in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (SA). A total of 513 rural households were randomly selected, and the descriptive results indicated that 51% of these households were food insecure, and they were somewhat negative about their entrepreneurial competencies. The estimated results indicated that entrepreneurship had a positive impact on fo…
