Critically-acclaimed chef and television personality Siba Mtongana is pleading with Mzansi to assist with donations for the hundreds of displaced families in Langa township.

Taking to Instagram, on Tuesday, the “Siba’s Table” host called on her fans and followers to help.
In her post, Siba explained that the affected families are “urgent” in need of essential items that include perishables, disposable nappies, baby food, blankets and sanitary towels.

“My heart goes out to the people of Langa township who have been displaced following a devastating fire that swept through the Joe Slovo area earlier this week. An estimated 300 homes and 1 500 individuals have lost everything,” shared Siba.

She also took the opportunity to thank those who have reached out and pledged their support. Your help during this time will be greatly appreciated, and thank you those who have already reached out and extended love and ubuntu to the community,” expressed Siba. She wrote: “My home of South Africa is going through an extraordinarily difficult time, and while I know much of the world is in pain right now, and a lot is being asked of us as global citizens, I’m hoping you’ll find it in your heart to help.”

Other local stars Ayanda Ncwane, Thabo ‘Tbo Touch’ Molefe, Somizi Mhlongo, DJ Tira and Nomcebo Zokode and Zakes Bantwini, Ayanda Borotho are among the many South African celebrities who have offered a helping hand to assist in relief efforts in KZN.
