“When we sent out the plea on our neighbourhood-watch group, people were more than willing to assist, and we received piles of clothing,” said Robson.
The clothes were packed in parcels and distributed to various women in the Zamokuhle area with the help of resident David Ngidi.
Ngidi said he identified the most needy in his area.
The duo has also donated some items to hall victims and said they have other items which they wish to donate to schools and clinics.
