Guerrilla Garden: A food forest in Cape Town l Africa Direct Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Qaba Mbola and the Ujamaa Guerrilla Gardening Collective have turned a windswept disused public space into a food forest for the residents of Khayelitsha, an apartheid-era township outside Cape Town, South Africa.
This garden not only provides food but also an important sense of belonging. Residents plant, harvest, sell or exchange produce. They share food, seeds, compost and skills. They plan sustainable solutions to looming drought.
This is a community built on the spirit of agency, self-help and action in the face of huge social and environmental problems.
Omelga Mthiyane is a South African filmmaker whose documentaries have been broadcast internationally and screened at festivals including Sundance and Berlinale. Several of her films have won awards and her latest documentary, Lefu, won a Jozi Film Festival award.

Loving it. Uplifting and insperational. Thank you.
I love this story, it's an absolute inspiration. These are little things we can all do to improve our food situation and how we interact with the environment around us, even with all the limitations...it is possible. I love how they work together, and yet everyone has their little thing going on. That's what we need more than ever, less competition and more corporation. God bless their hearts and hands
Thanks for your comment. 🙌
So beautiful! Love to see it!
🙌
So marvelous, I love it. Of course. The way forward is for humanity to create their own destiny. No government is interested in the people on the ground.
🙌🏽 I wish every kasi to have this
Beautiful, South Africa needs your great contributions, stay in South Africa!

Cheers fellow earthlings
This fills my South African heart with joy. I would love to see such unity and cooperation in my Kasi. I'll do my part to make it happen for sho.
This is awesome, thank you for sharing. Here are some native fruit trees that could also work well in a South African food forest. SourPlum (Ximenia caffra), White-berry bush (Flueggea virosa), Wild Apricot (Dovyalis zeyheri), and Natal plum (Carissa macrocarpa).
Hey, that GRIN company that promised to pay us for liking your video, didn't pay me. They want me to give them money to get my payout. Fix it.
At times I feel sad bc the need is big, I live in a town where people walk by. They all want spinache, marogo and chillies ec...but we use munisipality water, in other words we pay for the water.
My heart gets so excited and I feel proud of you.
And Im proud that you didnt get negative of all life stuggles.
Keep it up with the good work leadership 🌱🌍💚✨
Before the white men came the entire forest was a garden.
Great learning chance ...!
Good job
Love it
We appreciate your positive feedback. 🙌
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Great project.
