receiving tertiary education (34). The level of education is consistent in all districts
and metropolitans across the Gauteng Province. According to Heckman (1999),
education is key to poverty reduction, improve household food security, and to
improve the livelihoods of the poor. This is due to the ability of an education to
increase knowledge and skills, which is supportive to a household’s employability
and the fulfilment of the household’s basic necessities. Most households fall in the
income level of R1001–R2500 per month and quite a number of households had no
income (248) (Table 14.3). Most of the households were spending >R601 of their
monthly expenditure on food. There was not much difference in the number of
household members in the Gauteng Province. Most of the household’s size ranged
between 1 and 5 members, and the same trend was seen across districts and
metropolitans. According to Amaza et al. (2009), the importance of household size
as a major contributing factor to household agricultural production and hence food
security, through labour supply, has been well documented globally.
