“We are facing a period where our residents will be restricted from performing some ‘hustles’ (activities) which essentially put food on their table. We also have families with children who find refuge in schools and their only source of food is that which they find at school. Now that they can’t go to school nor do what they usually do, we have to come on board as representatives near to them and provide much-needed assistance. We have provided relief to 12 families in Loskop and wish to continue this initiative moving forward,” said Councillor Nthekiso.
