“The residents who live here are mostly pensioners and unemployed, so we can’t afford this on our own and we are absolutely grateful for what this company is doing for us,” she added.

Bouvrie thanked the staff of D&M for their generosity.

Govender said this initiative is one of many his company is involved in. “Since our business is in Jacobs we want to give back to the community as much as we can. We want to empower them and help them overcome their situations,” he said.
