John to Hand Out Food in NMB

By

The rising cost of food has a devastating impact on the residents of Nelson Mandela Bay who struggle to feed their families and gain access to even one nutritious meal a day.

On Tuesday, 18 October 2022, DA Leader, John Steenhuisen MP, will be assisting with food distribution in the Nelson Mandela Bay metro, and highlight the urgent need for the Minister of Finance, Enoch Godongwana, to table urgent measures in his Medium Term Budget Policy Statement to bring food relief to millions of South Africans.

He will be joined by DA EC Provincial Leader, Nqaba Bhanga MPL, NMB Executive Mayor, DA Cllr Retief Odendaal, PE Northern Areas Constituency Leader, Yusuf Cassim MPL, and local DA councillors.

The delegation will join the Al Fidaa Foundation in the preparation and distribution of hot meals in informal settlements in Openview and Windvogel. They will also visit a community garden in KwaDwesi.

This will be followed by an oversight inspection at the site of pothole repairs in Kariega/Uitenhage where the delegation will be joined by Winterhoek Constituency Leader, Marshall von Buchenroder MPL, and NMB MMC for Roads and Transport, DA Cllr Kabelo Mogatosi.
