CAPE TOWN - As the City of Cape Town faces another cold front, the Department of Social Development says it's allocated R7.5 million to help with relief efforts.
Over the past two weeks, parts of the province have experienced rain-induced flooding, affecting more than 30,000 people.
Various non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have stepped in to help the province provide relief efforts such as food parcels and hygiene packs.
Social Development MEC, Jaco Londt, has encouraged businesses and households to provide support where they can.
“Through the Cape Care Fund, you can make a meaningful contribution this winter by lending support to credible organisations that are a lifeline for many indigent households.”
