Cape Town co-ordinator appeals for donations to ease humanitarian crisis in KZN
Amid concerns of a looming humanitarian crisis in KwaZulu-Natal, some Capetonians are chipping in to help.
A Cape Town donations coordinator Jo Voster: “The response has been really incredible, we’ve been overwhelmed by the number of items received, boxes and boxes already packed up to be distributed on Monday. The non-perishable goods that we’re looking for are pasta, flour, baby goods – nappies, baby formula – and there’s been such a shortage in Durban – we’re also looking for any canned meats.”
She said that non-perishable goods could be donated at drop-off points in Claremont, Somerset West, and Stellenbosch.
