Donate supplies for flood relief in Limpopo and Mpumalanga
Help support Jacaranda FM's Good Morning Angels for those who have lost their homes and belongings in the floods.
POLOKWANE – Mall of the North is supporting Jacaranda FM’s Good Morning Angels initiative, which aims to bring essential supplies and hope to flood-stricken communities in Limpopo and Mpumalanga through Project Flood Relief.
Since last week, severe storms have caused widespread devastation in parts of the two provinces, which have been declared disaster areas. At least 37 fatalities have been reported.
Floodwaters, overflowing rivers, and destroyed bridges and roads have isolated many communities. Thousands of people have been displaced, while towns like Phalaborwa and numerous rural areas have been left without water or electricity.
The damage to homes, businesses, and public infrastructure is estimated in the billions. Aid organisation Gift of the Givers has identified the most urgent needs as basic necessities: bottled water, food, baby formula, nappies, and toiletries.
This is where Jacaranda FM and the public can help.
