Help Khanyisa keep the community fed

With the reopening of Khanyisa Trusts Soup Kitchen, chairperson Deon Gerber thanked the community for its continued support of the organisation.

“We are tremendously blessed and we can confirm that the daily provision of a hot takeaway meal is appreciated by all of our beneficiaries,” said Deon.

Although the continued support is much appreciated, donations from community members wanting to give back this Mandela Month would be welcomed.
