Pandemic precarity refers to the increased incidence and severity of pre-pandemic conditions of poverty, inequality and economic insecurity during COVID-19. In relation to migration within the Global South, there is an urgent need to understand pre-pandemic migrant vulnerabilities and food security challenges and how these were reconfigured during the pandemic. In this chapter, we demonstrate that the notion of pandemic precarity in the context of South-South migration should include the nature and drivers of intensified food insecurity for migrants and their translocal households in countries of origin. The case study evidence comes from our 2021 survey of Zimbabwean migrant households in South Africa. We argue that the findings open the way for a new research and policy agenda at the intersections between pandemic precarity, food insecurity and South-South migration.
