The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Disaster Management Centre is calling on all residents and businesses to donate much needed resources to flood affected families especially those in the temporary shelters.
The Executive Mayor, Cllr Gary Van Niekerk, said there is a serious shortage of food and toiletries in the shelters. NMBM is urging residents and businesses to assist where they can in the spirit of Ubuntu.
“We are currently experiencing some shortage of items that we normally provide for people we evacuated to emergency shelters. These include mattrasses, blankets, baby nappies, toilet paper, sanitary towels, cleaning material, baby formula and soups. We need these to distribute to these shelters that still require them to assist those communities who are still in need. It would be appreciated if these items could be delivered at the South End fire station, in Walmer Boulevard, we would then manage it from then onwards,” Van Niekerk said.
